The fudgiest gooey blondies loaded with everyone's favorite sweet and salty candies.
Ingredients
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
12⅜ ounces (1½ cups packed) light brown sugar
7 ounces (1½ cups) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon table salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 x-large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup honey roasted peanuts
½ cup M&Ms
⅓ cup chopped Heath Bars (~8 minis)
¼ cup Reese's Pieces (I used mini but regular sized would work, too)
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees; line an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar, stirring constantly; remove from heat and set aside when butter is completely melted
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder; set aside
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla; whisk in butter and sugar mixture
Whisk in flour mixture until almost combined and then fold in any remaining crumbs with a spatula
Fold in peanuts and candy until evenly distributed throughout batter
Pour into prepared baking pan
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean
Set aside to cool before cutting
Notes
Blondies will stay fresh for several days if wrapped or packaged in an air-tight container. They also freeze incredibly well, just wrap them tightly in tin foil.
