So, I haven't blogged all week, and there is a reason behind it.... Since started the blog, I've gained 4 lbs!!!!!! All from eating my own goodies. I noticed I had been feeling a bit chunkier than usual, but I figured it was because i hadn't been to the gym! But I stepped on the scale and there it was.... SO I need to stop eating all of my goodies and continue baking AND exercising. I wonder why all pastry chefs are not obese?!?!?
So I am researching (going on pinterest) healthy goodies to make and I'll be posting about those.
I did find this recipe that looks AMaze balls..... Using pretzel m&ms. Healthier right? Well, not really but it's a start! I think I'm going to try this next week!
CARAMEL SWIRLED PRETZEL M&M BLONDIES
Ingredients
1 cup butter (2 sticks) room temp
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar packed
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp coarse Sea salt
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups Pretzel M&Ms
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 (14oz) bag caramels unwrapped
1/4 cup milk
How to Make
Preheat oven to 350°
Spray a 9x13 with baking spray. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl.
Add vanilla and eggs and mix well.
On low add baking soda, salt and flour stirring until combined.
Fold in your pretzel M&Ms and chocolate chips.
In your prepared pan press 2/3 of your batter into the bottom of the pan.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until just beginning to set, but not golden brown.
While the bottom is baking put your unwrapped caramels into a microwave safe bowl along with your 1/4 cup milk. Microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring every minute until melted.
When the bottom is done pour the melted caramel on top.
Drop in spoonfuls the remaining batter and spread over the caramel as well as you can.
Continue baking for 15 minutes until golden brown and the caramel is bubbling.
Set oven to 350°
Let cool completely before cutting into squares
