- ¾ teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 cup M&M candies (210 grams), I used mini
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
- With an electric mixer beat the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar until light and creamy. Add vanilla extract and eggs, mixing after each.
