Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chopped candy bars
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped candy bars gently so they’re evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out with the parchment paper.
- Slice into squares and serve as is, or warm them slightly and pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean slicing.
- Don’t overbake to maintain a chewy center.
- Chill before slicing for neater squares.
- Freeze leftovers between parchment layers for up to 2 months.
