Begin by preheating your oven to 180. Cream the butter & sugars together, and mix well until it forms a thick paste.

Then, add in the eggs and the vanilla extract. Once mixed in, it should look quite thick and sloppy.

Sift in the flour, salt and baking soda and combine until it makes a soft dough.

Then, add your chocolate chunks and 75% of the M&Ms to the mixture, mix it well so that they aren’t all clumped together.

Line the baking tray with baking paper, and put the mixture in to the tray. Spread it out evenly so that it is the same thickness all over. Then, use the remaining M&Ms to scatter around the surface of the dough… Push them lightly in to the mixture.

Place in your oven and bake for 25 minutes until golden on top. Use a skewer to check that it’s cooked inside. If no mixture sticks, then it’s ready! If it needs a little longer, pop it back in the oven for another 5 minutes and repeat this process.

Let cool for 20 minutes then mark out where you want to cut your cakes. Depending on the size you want each portion to be, you will be able to make either 12 or 16. Melt some milk chocolate to stick on the candy eyes once you know where you will be making the cuts.
