M&M Coconut Blondies
10 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 1/4 cups M&Ms
extra M&Ms

Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8x8 baking dish with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it browns and starts to smell nutty. (Do not let it burn.) Let the butter cool until just barely warm.

In a large mixing bowl, combine browned butter and sugars. With a wooden spoon, stir in egg, vanilla, and salt. Stir in flour, coconut, and M&Ms until mixed well.

Pour the batter in prepared pan and smooth on top. Sprinkle additional M&Ms on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Let cool before cutting into squares.

Makes 16 bars
