Ingredients
Units
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup chopped candy bars*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper on all sides. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sug ar until combined. Whisk in the egg, extra egg yolk, and vanilla until combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a silicone spatula to fold until combined and no streaks of flour remain. Gently fold in the chopped up halloween candy, mixing only until combined.
- Use a silicone spatula to scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading to the edges and evening out the top.
- Bake until the edges are set and the blondies are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. The middle may still look underbaked, but they will continue to cook as they cool in the pan.
- Place the pan on a cooling rack and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 big bars or 16 smaller ones! Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use whatever kind of candy you have on hand! Our favorites are Reese’s, Twix, Snickers, M&Ms, and Hershey’s bars!
