Candy Corn White Chocolate Blondies
Candy Corn White Chocolate Blondies combine the sweetness of white chocolate chips with the seasonal touch of candy corn embedded in a moist, lightly chewy blondie base. The melted butter and brown sugar create a tender crumb that contrasts with pockets of gooey candy corn when baked carefully. These blondies are great for festive treats or whenever a sweet, buttery bar dessert is desired.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter 1 stick, melted, unsalted
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
- Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don’t scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour and stir until just combined, don’t overmix.
- Stir in the candy corn and white chocolate chips.
- Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. Very Important Tip – Avoid have candy corn touching the sides of the pan on the top surface because it will be prone to melting and turning into bubbly orange goo.
- Bake for about 22 to 26 minutes, or until done. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter.*
- Allow blondies to cool in pan for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. Blondies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Cover the baking pan loosely with foil in the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking to prevent the top from browning too much and protect any candy corn that might be exposed on the surface.
- Ensure candy corn pieces do not touch the edges of the pan on the top surface before baking to avoid melting into gooey spots.
- Allow blondies to cool completely in the pan for at least one hour before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze to extend shelf life.
