I just love making bar cookies because it is an easy way to cook up a big batch at once and also because they tend to stay uniformly moist with no dried-out edges. This mint blondie bars recipe is so easy to make and by using green mint M&M's, it makes a perfect treat for St. Patrick's Day!
The mint flavor in this recipe comes from using mint-flavored M&M's. You should be able to find them at most stores right now and even all year long (and you can always find them on Amazon or other online retailers.
Don't like the flavor of mint? Just replace the mint-flavored M&M's with regular ones (or your favorite flavor). Can't find mint M&M's? Just add a little bit of mint extract (NOT peppermint extract). Just be careful with the mint extract. A little TRULY does go a long way!
To make them, you will need:
⅔ cup Butter
2 cup Brown Sugar
2 Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
2 cup Flour
¼ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Chocolate Chips
1 cup Green Mint M&M's!
