Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush an 8×8-inch square baking pan with a bit of the melted butter and line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
In a large bowl, whisk the remaining butter and sugars until smooth. Whisk in egg and vanilla until fully incorporated.
Add flour and salt and mix just until moistened (do not over-mix).
Fold in ½ cup chocolate chips, ⅓ cup of the M&Ms, and jimmies.
Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the top with the remaining M&M’s.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Set the pan on a wire rack and sprinkle with additional sprinkles, as desired. Cool completely. Using the parchment overhang, lift the blondies from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Cut into squares.
