After the last few bouts of sickness in our house, we needed a little pick me up. Something sweet, rich, buttery and full of color…. yes, these Samoa M&M Blondie bars did just the trick. It seems that everyone is feeling better around here (or at least well on their way). I think these Samoa M&M Blondies might have had a little something to do with it :)

Samoa M&M Blondies

1 1/4 cups unsalted butter

2 cups packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

4 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

1 (12 oz.) bag mini M&Ms (with a few reserved for the top)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13 pan with foil and spray lightly with nonsticking spray.

Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it browns and begins to smell nutty (watch it closely so it doesn’t burn). Allow the butter to cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter and sugars.

Stir in eggs, vanilla and salt.

Add the flour

and stir just until combined.

Add the coconut and M&Ms

and stir to combine.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.

Sprinkle a few additional M&Ms on top.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Let the blondies cool completely before turning them out onto a cutting board and slicing into squares.

Serve

and enjoy!
