A bowl full of leftover Easter candy has been staring at me. what to do, what to do….
Let’s see. I’ve already done candy in cookies before with my super-chewy Butterfinger Cookies. How about I throw these assorted candy bars into a blondie?!
I’m kinda sorta partial to blondies. I love them much more than their chocolate counterpart! I know, who am I?
I have a basic blondie recipe that I typically use each time the blondie bug hits. It never fails me. It’s like a blank canvas to add in anything your little heart (or tummy) desires. I love basic recipes like that!
And filling the blondies with miscellaneous candy bars take them to a whole other level.
Gooey + chewy + chocolatey = so dang good.
What I love most about baking blondies, brownies, or cookie bars is that it’s a one-pan-wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am kind deal. No baking in batches, rolling into shapes, chilling the dough, etc. 30 minutes and you’re in and out of the kitchen. Plus, there is NO mixer required! 
Quick AND easy? That’s my kinda recipe!

Candy Bar Blondies
makes 16 blondies
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups chopped candy bars (I used butterfingers, milky ways, and reese’s cups)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 8×8 baking pan with nonstick spray (or line with parchment paper).
Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla together until combined. Add egg and mix well. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and stir together until barely combined. Fold in the chopped candy bars. Pour batter in the prepared baking pan. It may look like there isn’t enough, but these blondies RISE.
Bake for 25 minutes and allow to cool before cutting into squares. Enjoy!

Can’t go wrong with candy stuffed into anything! Yum!
i couldn’t agree more!
My heart is breaking right now because I can’t have one of these! Or two. I love brownies and blondies both equally. Adding candy to them makes them INSANE!
I just found you through MJ’s ABC awards! Your baking is making my mouth water… Your pictures are gorgeous! What kind of camera do you use?
Thank you so much! I listed my camera on my FAQ page
What a fabulous treat! I love these and agree… What dessert isn’t better with candy stuffed inside?
Blondies are my all time favorite…I love them just a little bit more than chocolate brownies:-) And stuffing them full of candy is always a good thing! Easy fast recipes…gotta love them!!!
i favor blondies over brownies any day
Mouth-watering brownies!
They look soooooooooooo delicious
they are certainly delicious!
Looks fantastic! Love how versatile these are. Whatever candy I have in my kitchen is goin’ in! Question: How well do these blondies “keep”? Can I make them 3-4 days in advance of taking them to an event? Do they need to go in the fridge?
Hi Tracy! These blondies keep for 1 week stored in an airtight container, they do not need to be kept in the fridge.
Hi! Is it okay if I use normal granulated sugar instead of brown sugar?
Hi Ameera – yes, that’s fine. The blondies may not be as soft and tender though. Brown sugar supplies moisture to the blondies, making them extra soft.
