Easter Blondies

When life hands you 4.4 lbs of incredible dark chocolate, think of every recipe that calls for dark chocolate and make it!  I figured to be festive, I would make these really easy (and super cute) blondies.  Best part about these little treats is you can adapt them for any holiday :)


Easter Blondies

Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup (scant) granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup good quality dark chocolate, chopped
1 bag of Easter M&Ms (optional)

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper (this makes the bars easier to remove)
2. Melt the stick of butter over low heat.  Pour into a medium bowl
3. Add the light brown and granulated sugar.  Stir until combined
4. Add the egg and vanilla, stirring until smooth
5. Add the salt and flour, stirring until just combined
6. Fold in chopped chocolate
7. Pour the batter into your prepared pan.  Arrange the Easter M&Ms on top of your batter.  I did mine like this:


8. Bake 20 - 25 minutes or until tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached.  Let cool completely on wire rack before slicing into bars
