Embracing the Season: A Love Letter to Fall
While it’s always hard to bid farewell to the vibrant days of summer, I must confess, my heart truly belongs to Fall. There’s an undeniable magic in the air – the cooler temperatures, the vivid display of nature’s colors, and the comforting scents of cinnamon and spice that fill our homes. It’s those challenging months that follow Autumn that I confess to having a hate-hate relationship with, as winter approaches with its chilly embrace.
Thankfully, these glorious Pecan Pie M&M Blondies serve as a delicious antidote! They are more than just a dessert; they are a source of warmth, comfort, and pure joy that helps to ease the transition into colder days. That’s my delicious excuse for baking and indulging in these treats, and I’m sticking to it. They embody everything wonderful about the season, from their rich, buttery texture to the delightful crunch of pecans and M&M’s, making them a perfect companion for any fall activity, whether it’s apple picking, pumpkin carving, or simply enjoying a good book by the fire.

Pecan Pie M&M Blondies
Recipe by Kim Lange
Pin Recipe
Dessert
Not specified
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1½ sticks unsalted butter
- 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup pecans
- 1 cup Pecan Pie M&Ms or English Toffee M&M’s or any flavor that complements butter pecan blondies!
- ⅔ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×9 inch baking pan for thicker blondies or a 13×9 inch pan for thinner blondies by greasing it thoroughly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter with both the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 3 minutes of mixing.
- Add the room temperature eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix until everything is smoothly incorporated and well combined.
- Gradually add the reserved dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough blondies.
- Gently fold in ¼ cup of the pecans, ½ cup of the Pecan Pie M&Ms, and ⅓ cup of the white chocolate chips into the blondie batter.
- Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan, ensuring it reaches all corners.
- Sprinkle the remaining pecans and Pecan Pie M&Ms over the top of the blondie dough. Gently press them into the surface to ensure they adhere.
- Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes if using a 9×13 inch pan, or 30-35 minutes for a 9×9 inch pan. Baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- The blondies are done when they turn a beautiful dark caramel color. A toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out almost clean, with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Once removed from the oven, immediately sprinkle the remainder of the white chocolate chips onto the hot blondies. The residual heat will melt them slightly, creating a glossy, irresistible topping.
- Allow the blondies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy every heavenly bite!
