Last night we went to my son’s first grade musical, Dinostars. He played a Pterodactyl, and had a speaking part. He did a great job! All the kids did a great job, they were all so cute dressed up like dinosaurs, singing their songs. Amazing how grown up he is getting. He turns 7 next month. While he was at school yesterday, I went out and bought him a new pair of shoes. They were the same size as mine! Seriously?! My 6 year old has the same size feet as me? I am really not sure how I feel about this.
Despite how big he is getting, I can still win him over with treats . Hopefully that will never change. He was a big fan of these bars. He doesn’t always like white chocolate, but he did in here! I had seen these White Chocolate M&M’s all over the place, I just had pick up a bag, and try them myself. My husband loves butterscotch, so I thought I would mix the two together. He loved these Blondies I made, but I wanted the butterscotch flavor to go all throughout, instead of just chips. So I melted the chips down, and stirred it into the batter. Brilliant! I am seeing this technique working out well with other recipes too.
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup butter , melted (or Melt)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup flour
- 2/3 cup butterscotch chips , melted
- 1 cup White Chocolate M&M's
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 8×8 pan.
- Blend butter and brown sugar together until smooth. Stir in egg and vanilla. Mix in the melted butterscotch. Add flour and salt, mix until combined. Fold in the M&M's. Pour into prepared pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

I am sure my son who is 9 wouldn’t resist to these beauties! He would eat them all without any excuses! They look delicious!
Cassie says
You know I’m a fan of these already – I made some blondies a couple weeks ago with white chocolate M&M’s and they were a perfect combo with the brown sugar goodness. I adore that you added butterscotch to these…definitely another favorite of mine!
Kaitlin says
Desserts are a great way to anyone’s heart 🙂 These are perfect for spring, love them!
Jen @ Juanita's Cocina says
Oh yum! This solves my issue of not really being a brownie/chocolate fan! Yes, it’s true. I’m not really a chocolate fan. Don’t throw me out of the foodie lovers club!
Great recipe! These look amazing, Erin!
Suzanne says
I would love these bars since I love butterscotch! I always buy the holiday m&m’s but have tried not to lately since I need to cut back. If I do get some I’m trying this out :).
Shannon says
These look wonderful and I’m definitely going to have to get some of those white chocolate M&M’s!
RavieNomNoms says
HOW CUTE! I love musicals. Especially when there are kids in them. Too cute.
These M&M bars look super delicious too and completely addicting.
Patty says
My grandson is almost 7 and it is such a sweet age! I know he would love these bars, thanks for sharing;-)
Kiri W. says
A pterodactyl?? I wish my musicals had been that cool! Congrats on him doing well 🙂
Ooh, these blondies sound fantastic!

Alyssa says
I’ve seen those white chocolate M&M’s in a few recipes lately. I really love what you did with them! I bet your son will always remember fondly coming home from school or a play to have wonderful treats waiting for him. I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says
Loving these butterscotch blondies, Erin! And too funny about the shoe thing. I don’t have kids yet, but I have two younger siblings that are 15 years younger than me and they are getting so much and I actually wore my 12 year old sister’s boots last winter. Crazy how fast they grow!
Dee at Deelicious Sweets says
Great combination of flavors! I can’t believe your 6 year old has feet as big as yours. You must be really tiny or your son is going to be super tall! I can’t wait until my daughter is my shoe size so we can share shoes. Although, I’m a size 10 so not sure she will have my big feet or not!
Ramona says
Holy cow you must have small feet… at least I hope that’s the case. How cute, Dinostars! My son would have loved to take part of that… he adores dinosaurs. 🙂 Okay… these bars look beyond yummy.. butterscotch and M&M! Wow..way to go! 🙂
Erin says
I have size 7, so they aren’t that small! He is just really big for his age!
Tiffany says
You had me at butterscotch! And I love that you used pastel M & Ms!
Nami | Just One Cookbook says
My son had his first stage performance recently too (dance and singing). We did a lot of practice together so I was really happy he enjoyed the performance. I know how you feel. 🙂 Wow your son’s shoe size is same as yours? I’m 5 feet, so I know eventually my kids will be taller than me very soon… a little bit scary, but it’s better that way. Haha. These bars look delicious!
Lemons and Anchovies says
I loved butterscotch candy as a kid and who doesn’t like M&Ms? In bar form, together, I bet they were a hit with everyone. They would be with me! 🙂
Emily @ Life on Food says
I don’t even know what a Pterodactyl is? Maybe I need to go back to school. I don’t know when my shoe size was the same as my mom’s but it lasted only about 6 months. I was always jealous of friends who could share shoes with their moms. I suppose your son has now yearnings to share your shoes.
Sandra's Easy Cooking says
Awesome idea, and very creative recipe!!! Great for any kid!!!!
Marsha @ The Harried Cook says
oooh..these sound yummy! Love the idea and I think I would LOVE this! My little girl can have a piece or two, but I think I’ll save most of it for myself… Thanks! 😀
Magic of Spice says
It is amazing how big they get and so fast! These delightful treats would win me over as well 🙂
kita says
If he is anything like my BF as he grows, treats from his mom will always win! These bars look sooo yummy – they would win anyone – any size shoe over 😀
