Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9" square pan with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until fully combined.

Mix in the eggs and vanilla.

Add in the dry ingredients, and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined.

Lastly, fold in the chopped candy bars.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with a rubber spatula.

Bake the blondies for about 30 minutes until evenly golden on top and toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Once the blondies come out of the oven, immediately top with more candy bars as desired.*

Allow to cool completely in the pan.

Lift the blondies from the pan, cut into 16 squares, and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Strategic Candy Bar Placement 🍫
Chop larger candy bars into chunks and reserve half for topping; mix smaller pieces into the batter to distribute flavor throughout while keeping some bars whole for that signature gooey melted effect on top.
Brown Butter for Depth 🧈
Melt your unsalted butter and cook it until it turns golden brown with nutty aromas (3-5 minutes), then cool before mixing—this adds sophisticated flavor complexity that elevates the blondies beyond basic candy bar brownies.
Underbake for Maximum Gooeyness 🎯
Remove blondies when a toothpick inserted in the center still has moist crumbs clinging to it (not fully clean), as residual heat continues cooking them while cooling—this ensures that perfect fudgy texture throughout.
Hot Pan Topping Technique 🔥
Immediately after removing from the oven, arrange your reserved candy bar pieces on top and let them sit for 2-3 minutes before gently spreading with an offset spatula—the residual heat melts them perfectly without burning.
Prevent Dry Edges with Parchment 📄
Line your pan with parchment paper and slightly overhang the edges—this prevents over-browning of the corners and makes removal easier, ensuring even moisture distribution and beautifully uniform gooey centers throughout.
