Blondie Bars

If you haven't done a single thing for Valentine's Day, there's still time. I on the other hand, ordered a nice meal for dinner tonight as a surprise for C. The surprise was ruined 45 minutes after I placed the order last week and realized I had a late afternoon meeting and couldn't pick up dinner tonight. So I had to ask C if he'd mind picking up his surprise dinner.

This weekend I made my first ever Pinterest recipe!  Valentine's Blondies.  It's pretty much just a cookie bar. You could omit the M&Ms and just ice the whole thing. YUM. Obviously, the Valentine's M&Ms can be substituted for regular or whatever holiday you're celebrating. I decreased the amount of M&Ms as the one I made had too many.
