While baking my heart out for Valentine’s day, I added a recipe that got my attention all by its looks. I know looks can be deceiving, but this recipe has the whole package. Adapted from baked perfection, I had to make this as soon as I saw the themed M&M’s. The recipe was easy enough and not that time consuming. My wonderful boyfriend helped me bake this and before I knew it, they were done. I made these to be handed out in treat bags and there were more than enough. We had a lot left over, which was fine by me. Since M&M’s makes different color candies for any occasion, this recipe can be used for any Holiday or celebration!
