    ⭐Why This Recipe Works

    • Love easy desserts? These are ready in just 30 minutes!
    • Crispy crust and soft and gooey inside.
    • Colorful blondies are the perfect treat for the Fourth of July or Memorial Day. Try this Maple Blondies Recipe if you love blondies but want to switch things up a bit.


    🥣Ingredient Notes

    • Butter - melted. I used salted butter, but unsalted butter would also work.
    • Brown sugar - I used light brown sugar, but dark brown sugar can also be used.
    • Eggs - At room temperature.
    • M&M candies - In red, white, and blue. You can find these during the summer months at grocery stores or order them online.
    • White chocolate chips - These pair well with the milk chocolate in the M&Ms.
    • Patriotic sprinkles - To add festive color and crunch.

    📋How to Make Red White and Blue Blondies Recipe

    STEP 5: Pour most of the M&M candies into the batter, putting aside some to decorate the top of the blondies. Gently fold in the M&M's to evenly distribute them into the batter.

    STEP 6: Spread the blondie batter into a 9×13 pan that has been prepared with cooking spray. You can also prepare the pan with parchment paper. Press the remainder of M&M's into the top of the batter.

    STEP 7: Bake the blondies in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes. You can use a toothpick inserted in the center to check for doneness. Take them out when they are golden brown on top but are still a little gooey in the middle.

    👩🏻‍🍳Expert Tips

    Tip 1: You can make some variations to these blondies. Try changing up the chips to milk chocolate, or adding some chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch.

    Tip 2: For an added festive touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the top of the blondies.

    Tip 3: Use room-temperature butter and eggs to ensure the batter has a smooth texture.


    🤷🏻‍♀️Recipe FAQs

    How do I store blondies?

    Store blondies at room temperature in an airtight container to keep them fresh and moist. They will last for up to five days.

    What can I serve with this Red White and Blue Blondies Recipe?

    I love to serve these with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
