Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter soft but not melted
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg room temp
- ¾ cup flour
- ¼ tsp table salt
- ½ cup semi sweet chocolate morsels
- ½ cup M&M's plus 1/4 cup for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Line 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper or foil, with enough excess to create a "sling" that reaches over the edges of pan for ease of dessert removal. Lightly grease the paper or foil. Set aside.
- In bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment (or you can use a large mixing bowl and electric hand mixer), add the softened butter and brown sugar. Mix on medium high until mixture is fluffy.
- Add vanilla and egg, mixing to combine. Slowly and gently add the flour and salt, switching to low speed; mix just until combined - do not over mix.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the chocolate morsels and M&M's. Scrape dough into lined/greased pan, ensuring corners are filled evenly.
- Bake about 25 min or just until toothpick inserted in center comes out barely clean. A few tender crumbs attached are great.
- Let cool completely in pan on wire rack. Carefully remove entire dessert with sling overhang, directly onto a cutting board. Cut into bars and plate to serve.
