Instructions

- Add flours and salt and stir until almost combined. Add M&M's candy and gently fold until mixture is smooth.
- Spread evenly in prepared baking pan. Add a few more candy's to the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set and golden around the edges.
- Let cool for 20 minutes before cutting into squares.
