Quick tips for peanut butter blondies

• Line your baking dish with foil for easy removal.
• For extra peanut butter flavor, use peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips.
• Place extra M&M’s on top prior to baking. This makes them look extra pretty. :)
• Use festive M&M’s around the holidays, like Valentine’s, Easter, Halloween and Christmas.
• Don’t overcook! They may look a little soft, but they’ll harden as they cool.
• Use a toothpick to make sure the center of your peanut butter blondies comes out clean.
