Ingredients :

  • 2 and 3/4 cups (343g) all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (16 Tbsp; 226g) unsalted butter, melted & cooled for just 5 minutes*
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/4 cups (about 260g) mini or regular-size M&Ms
  • 3/4 cup (135) semi-sweet chocolate chips

 

Instructions :

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Adjust the rack in the oven so that it is in the center position. With a metal or glass baking pan measuring 9 inches by 13 inches, line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
  • Make sure to leave an overhang on the sides of the pan so that the bars can be easily removed from the pan. Put aside for later.
  • A large bowl should be used to combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt by whisking them together. Put aside for later.
  • In a bowl of medium size, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar by whisking them together until there are no lumps of brown sugar left. Mix in the eggs and vanilla essence using a whisk. Proceed to pour this into the flour mixture, and then use a large spoon or a silicone spatula to combine the ingredients.

 

  • The dough is going to be extremely pliable, slippery, and dense. Take the M&Ms and chocolate chips and fold them in. It is possible that the M&Ms and chips will not adhere to the dough due to the melted butter; however, you should make every effort to incorporate them.
  • After the baking pan has been prepped, transfer the dough to it and press or level it out into a uniform layer. Bake for twenty-six to thirty minutes, or until the edges and top are gently browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out largely clean with a few moist crumbs (not wet crumbs).
  • Make sure not to overbake the food. In the event that you observe the bars browning excessively before the 25-minute mark, cover the skillet with aluminum foil. In the oven, bars will rise, but as they cool, they will settle down.
