2.) In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and egg until smooth.

3.) Beat in the flour until a soft dough forms

4.) Fold in the M&Ms.

5.) Spread dough into a greased baking dish or one lined with parchment paper. Firmly press the dough down. (I used a 9×9 baking dish).

6.) Top with sprinkles and add some more M&M’s on top.

7.) Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. You want to remove it when the edges are golden and you can stick a butter knife or toothpick in and it comes out clean.

8.) Place on a cooling rack and allow to cool but not completely.

9.) Unwrap the Reese’s and chocolate hearts and press into the top of the cookie bars.

Red Velvet Waffles

OH MY GOSHHH, I have had such a red velvet craving! It’s one of my favorite desserts. And with Valentine’s Day approaching, I was in the mood to bake something red velvet inspired. These red velvet waffles are so indulgent and are perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or anytime you just want to spoil yourself or someone you love. The best part, they are made with red velvet cake mix and topped with a homemade cream cheese whipped topping you can prepare ahead of time.

If you want to give your partner a hint, email them this recipe or print it out and put it on their pillow as a little nudge and maybe perhaps you will get breakfast in bed for Valentine’s Day 😉

Scroll down for my recipe.

If you’d like heart shaped waffles, this Dash waffle iron is super cute! I wish I had a cabinet to store all of their fun holiday waffle irons!

If you don’t have a heart shaped waffle iron, you can also try using a heart shaped cookie cutter and cutting out heart shaped waffles that way too!
