Tips for making M&M Cake Bars

To get the brightest colors, press the M&Ms into the top of the batter. Another option is to fold them gently into the batter before filling the pan.

It's not quite as pretty that way, but then the M&Ms are distributed throughout the top and bottom. (Most kids gobble them up before noticing where exactly the M&Ms are placed.)
