My kids LOVE M&M and so we always have them in the HOUSE. I had this huge container that I leave on our console table. I wanted to get rid of them…so I decided to us them this week in my BAKING. The kids LOVE them in the cookies. I also wanted to use something different than chocolate chips again LOL . This summer you will see me baking LOTS of cookies and CAKES. During the school year …I usually don’t bake much because I am always PREPPING for the kids WEEKLY school lunches and so I really don’t have much time to bake…but I think I will TRY to continue to bake a BATCH every weekend so that I can pack them a little treat every day during the school year. If your kids LOVE M&M candies as much as my kids…you should DEFINITELY make these COOKIES!! Your KIDS WILL LOVE IT!!!
