Chewy Brown Butter M&M Blondies
Description
Chewy Brown Butter M&M Blondies feature melted unsalted butter cooked until browned, imparting a deep nutty aroma that enriches the blondie batter. Brown sugar and granulated sugar provide sweetness and chewiness, while eggs and vanilla bind the ingredients.
The batter includes all-purpose flour, salt, M&M candies, and semi-sweet chocolate chips to introduce contrasting textures and chocolate flavor. Baking in a parchment-lined pan develops crisp edges while maintaining a just-set center that is slightly wobbly when done, ensuring a chewy bite after cooling.
Serving these blondies with an optional sprinkle of flaky sea salt creates a subtle savory contrast that complements the sweet chocolate and candy bits. They make for a colorful dessert or snack that combines familiar chocolate candy with a tender, buttery crumb.
