Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan; set aside. Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy; beat in vanilla, egg whites and whole egg. Stir in 2 1/4 cups flour mixed with baking powder and salt; blend well. Divide batter in half. Blend together cocoa powder and melted butter; stir into half of the dough; spread evenly into prepared baking pan. To the remaining dough, stir in 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 cup M&M’S® MINIS® Milk Chocolate Candies; spread evenly over cocoa dough in pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup M&M’S® MINIS® Milk Chocolate Candies. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until edges start to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely. Cut into 40 bars.
