Equipment
- 1 large bowl
- 1 Whisk/Spatula or Electric mixer
Ingredients
Blondie Batter
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter measured solid and then melted
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar packed
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Egg large, room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 cup All-purpose Flour spoon flour into the measuring cup, level top with knife for precise measurement
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt Kosher, flaked
- 1-2 cup Mini Candy Bars (your favourite!) roughly chopped + additional WHOLE pieces set aside for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (325F convection bake). Line a 9"x9" square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use a whisk to beat the melted butter with the sugars (brown sugar and granulated sugar). Continue to mix until well combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder with salt to sift and aerate. Add to butter/sugar/egg mixture and stir until just combined.
- Stir in the roughly chopped candy bars.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared pan. Spread evenly with a knife/rubber spatula.
- Bake blondies for ~30-35 minutes or until the top is set and edges are lightly golden. Remove blondies from the oven and press additional candy bars onto your blondies.
- Cool blondies completely in baking pan.
- Transfer to a cutting board, cut, and enjoy! These blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.

Notes
Sofia’s Tips:
- Measure your butter before melting to give you the most accurate measurement!
- Baking powder has been added to this recipe to create a slightly thicker and taller blondie
- Try not to over bake these blondies! Like brownies, these blondies will continue to bake once removed from the oven!
- These blondies can be frozen for up to 3 months! After they are completely cooled, double-wrap them plastic wrap or aluminium foil. Be sure to thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.
