If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the lookout for ways to indulge in more M&Ms. There’s just something magical about reaching into a bag of those colorful candies and popping them into your mouth. The satisfying crunch, the challenge of how many you can fit in at once, and that moment when the chocolate melts in your mouth is pure bliss.
I enjoy a classic M&M cookie, but let’s be real—homemade ones need time and effort. So when I stumbled upon a TikTok video that promised a giant cookie-cake hybrid made with just three ingredients in about half an hour, I was all in.
I’ll admit, when I first saw eggs swirling around in a bowl with M&Ms, I was skeptical. Isn’t the norm to mix eggs with the wet ingredients? And what about tossing in some flour with the candy to keep it from sinking? But trust me, just follow the recipe, and you’ll end up with a dreamy cookie-cake that you can’t resist devouring by the handful.
Here’s how simple it is:
Grab a family-sized bag of M&Ms (I used one, and my kids thought it was a bit too much, but hey, more is better, right?) and toss them in a bowl. Then, crack in two eggs and mix it all together, lightly beating the eggs as you go. Next, add a boxed vanilla cake mix of your choice—seriously, any flavor would work wonders here. Finally, just bake it according to the cake mix instructions. That’s all there is to it!
What I love about this recipe is that it doesn’t need frosting. But if you want to amp it up, adding a bit of sugary frosting wouldn’t hurt. The texture is a perfect blend between a light cake and a chewy cookie, making it a fantastic treat for parties or bake sales. Plus, it’s super easy for kids to help with since there are only three steps involved. You won’t have to worry about them messing it up—it’s pretty foolproof!
If you’re dealing with an egg allergy or intolerance, you can easily substitute the eggs, and I’ve tested this myself. I made one with eggs for my kids and one without for me. Guess what? Neither of us could tell the difference!
So if you’re seeking a quick and fun dessert for the holidays—or just want to whip something up with the kids—give this recipe a shot. I’m planning to grab a bag of red and green holiday M&Ms for our Christmas dessert this year, and who knows? This might just become a yearly tradition!
