Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
These sweet bars are a fun way to use up leftover Halloween treats. They combine a rich, buttery base with the surprise of melted candy inside. Each bite is full of gooey, chocolatey, and crunchy textures that everyone will enjoy.
Step 1
Lightly heat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar and butter until creamy. Then, beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring just until everything is incorporated—don’t overmix. Gently fold in your leftover Halloween candy pieces.
Step 3
Spread the thick batter evenly into the prepared pan. Pop it into the oven on the middle rack and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the blondies cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares and enjoying!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of candy besides chocolate bars?
Yes, you can use any chopped candy you like, such as peanut butter cups or toffee bits, for different flavors.
How do I store these blondies to keep them fresh?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Can I substitute brown sugar with white sugar?
You can, but brown sugar adds moisture and a richer flavor, so the texture might be slightly different.
What is the best way to chop the candy pieces?
Use a sharp knife to chop the candy into small, bite-sized pieces for even distribution.
Can I make these blondies gluten-free?
Yes, replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend in a 1:1 ratio.
How do I know when the blondies are done baking?
Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.
Can I freeze the blondies for later?
Yes, wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Is it okay to mix the batter by hand or do I need a mixer?
Mixing by hand works fine; just stir until combined without overmixing.
