Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave until melted. I suggest reducing the microwave power so the butter doesn't splatter. You may also melt the butter in a saucepan.
- Add brown sugar and sugar. Whisk or stir vigorously until smooth about 2-3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Fold in 1 cup of chopped candy bars, reserving most of the chocolate candy bars to place on the top when the blondies are finished baking.
- Spread in a 8 x 8 baking pan. I suggest lining the pan with parchment paper as it makes it easier to remove and cut the candy bar cookie bars. Bake just until a light golden brown color, 20-28 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE.
- While the cookie bars are baking, prepare the chocolate candy bars. You may keep some of the candy bars whole and some you can chop or slice into bite-size pieces.
- Place the candy bars all over the top of the baked cookie bars. If you don't want them to melt, wait 5 minutes before placing on the cookie bars and immediately place in the freezer.
- Cut into bars and serve.
Notes
- You can use any of your favorite chocolate candy bars. Some of my favorites are...Twix, Kit Kat, plain or mini M & M's, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Milky Way, Snickers, Hershey Bars, 3 Musketeers, Almond Joy, Butterfinger, Dove, Baby Ruth, 100 Grand Bar, Take 5, Kinder Bueno, Heath Bars, and more!
- Two tips for cutting dessert bars:
- Place the candy bar cookie bars in the freezer for about 20-25 minutes before slicing.
- Use a plastic knife! A simple plastic knife glides well and makes clean cuts.
