Today I am going to share with you guys how I made these festive blondies for Thanksgiving. First off, let me tell you guys that yes, I am one of those people who really does not like pumpkin pie. I do like the occasional apple pie, but that is a different story! Give me a mint or chocolate pie, and I would be happy for days! LOL but since Thanksgiving is mainly pumpkin pies, I decided I would make something that still looked like it belonged at the dessert table, yet had some chocolate in it.
They are pretty easy to make, and you can customize them for any holiday by just buying the holiday M&Ms! I waited to post this until now because I figured you can buy some Valentine’s Day M&Ms and make it within the next week or two for a sweet treat!
