I’m gonna go ahead and just put it out there: this is my very favorite recipe this month. I know that’s a little bold– after all, it’s only the 19th. But these were so, so, SO good.
You have to try them. TODAY, if possible no matter what!
Truthfully, these bad boys almost didn’t happen at all. After the Strawberry Peanut Butter M&M incident of ’09 (the incident being that they were ever created and shelved in stores– eww!), I’m a little wary of new M&M flavors.
White Chocolate? Strike one– it’s not my favorite.
Candy Corn? Strike two– you know how I feel about candy corn.
M&M? Well, that’s what saved it, in the end. I just couldn’t turn my back on my very favorite candy of all time and was compelled to try them.
Good call, Ashton. Good call.

I saw these M&M’s at Target but didn’t buy them because I didn’t know what to do with them. Now, I’m kicking my own butt! These cookies look amazing. Thanks for sharing on Sweet Indulgences Sunday.

I’m like you, I don’t like candy corn either, but the rest of this cookie sounds great, especially with organic ingredients. I’m really tempted. Thank you for linking at Joy of Desserts.
Looks so good! Candy corn tastes better in cookies than on its own.
I just made your cookies, and they are Yummy! Couldn’t find the m&m’s, so I just pressed candy corn pieces into the cookies when they were still warm. Thanks for the great recipe. I love your blog!
Those white chocolate candy corn M&M’s are so yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
