While I was on vacation I had some time to think.
Like about life and all that.
Some questions went unanswered.
For example…
Why do we always eat beef jerky on road trips but never any other time?
or…
Why is it always super important for the hotel where I stay to have a gym, but I never use them.
and…
Why did Meg Ryan do all that weird stuff to her face?
how about…
Am I the only person in the history of the world that thinks fireworks are overrated?
and of course…
Could there be anything better than Cracker Barrel Hash Brown casserole?
I am pretty sure that Confucius and I would be homies. You know, pondering all life’s enigmas.
Anyway…another of my big concerns in life is why haven’t I baked with Pretzel M&Ms yet?
That’s completely nonsensical.
So…situation resolved. I can check that one off my list.
Here’s what you’ll need…
Make some cookie dough…
Press 2/3 of it in the bottom of the pan…
Bake the bottom…
Unwrapping is the hardest part.
Microwave that caramel
That’s good stuff.
Then drop the remaining batter on top and bake!

Too funny! My daughter bought a can of beef jerky last time we were on vacation…lol Meg Ryan does look bizarre. Maybe she went to the same plastic surgeon as the Jacksons:)
There are no words to describe this delectable treat other than to say you seriously are a goodie genius.
I love reading your bog! You tell the funniest stories and your food is so yummy!
Thanks for the the laugh. These blondies look sooooo delicious. I think I will make some today, if I can find the pretzel m&ms 🙂 I too have wondered the same thing about meg ryan. Surgery does not always make things better LOL!
I really liked its presentation it really looks delicious and palatable. I love the taste of caramel and cookies alone but to combine this i think it really tastes like heaven.
