Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup holiday M&Ms (red and green)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and stir until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Fold in the holiday M&Ms and chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
  6. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the reserved M&Ms and chocolate chips over the top.

  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
