Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup mini M&Ms, divided
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×9 inch pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar; beat in the egg and the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine flour and baking soda; blend into the creamed mixture.
Stir in the M&Ms and set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar and egg yolk until smooth; stir in cocoa powder until well-blended.
Place the chocolate-cheese mixture in little mounds, covering the entire pan.
Place the reserved dough around the cheese mixture and swirl the two mixtures slightly with a fork.
Pat down the mixture and sprinkle with remaining M&Ms.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bars comes out clean.
Cool completely and cut into bars.
Store in refrigerator in covered container.
