Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 baking pan.
  • In a microwave safe bowl melt the butter.
  • In a mixing bowl add the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well and pour into the 9x13 pan.
  • Evenly sprinkle the M&Ms and chocolate chips over the top. Bake for 24-28 minutes.

Notes

Make Ahead: Covered tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, these will keep on the counter for up to 3 days. To reheat, just place in the microwave for 15 seconds to make them gooey and warm.
Variations: You can swap out the chocolate chips for a variety of other toppings to change up these bars. Here are some of our favorite combinations:
o Crushed Andes pieces or Peppermint pieces
o Candy Mix-in's: Toffee bits, candy canes, Oreos
o Add any of your favorite chips: Semi-sweet-, dark, white, butterscotch, cinnamon chips.
