this picture is a much better intro than anything i could say…

we’ve been having a harried week around here with school and after-school activities. so each afternoon i have been in the mood for something sweet to get me through the rest of the day. this small treat always satisfies my craving – and, like everything i share here, they are very easy to make!

another reason i decided to make these this week? it’s a great recipe when you have leftover holiday themed m&m’s. here are the remains from our Easter…

along with the rest of the ingredients…

the dough is so soft and light…

then you add in those m&m’s. since i didn’t have a lot of m&m’s, i added in some semi-sweet chocolate chips to fill in the rest of that 2 cup requirement…

after cooling the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes, you will roll it in your hands to form small balls…and place them in a mini-muffin pan sprayed with cooking spray…

bake them for 12-14 minutes…

so good…

a simple and easy recipe…

my favorite way to eat these is with a hot cup of coffee…
