Later this week I will be posting the more traditional dream bar but this M&M version is perfect for any holiday, especially Valentines Day! M&M overload My favorite M&M’s each year are the Valentines Day ones. I love all the pinks, red and white in one bag.

Blueberry Snack Bars
I am so obsessed with everything berry right now. Every time I walk into my grocery store or my local Farmer’s Market I am overwhelmed with how beautiful the berries are right now.

My new FAVORITE Brookie
Ever since Brookies came onto the scene a few years back I have been LOVING them. There is just something so yummy about bringing together 2 of my favorites, brownies and chocolate chip cookies. A little something extra As much as I love the traditional brookie I wanted to add in a little something extra…some caramel. Now I could have just used some salted caramel sauce or caramel candy but I thought rolo’s would really put these brookies over the top. The rolo candy not only adds in a little caramel but also an extra bit of chocolate making these brookies truly something to remember. Even the batter looks…

Blondes (& blondies) really do have more fun
One of my most favorite times of the year is when the Easter M&M’s hit the store shelves.
