  • 1 1/2 TSP Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar

  4. Add flour, salt and baking powder until well incorperated.
  5. Spread your dough out into prepared baking dish. Press down with hands or side of a drinking glass to roll out and make somewhat level.

  7. Let cool completely before frosting and adding sprinkles.
  8. Once completely cooled, add frosting until entire top is covered. Add your M&M's. Cut into personal sized bars.
