I know you still have leftover Halloween candy. Don’t pretend like you haven’t stashed it away somewhere for later snacking —  I know YOU! haha — well maybe I don’t, but I know I still have leftover candy so logic follows that you would too. So I’ve come up with a great way of dealing with *some* of it — just throw it in some candy studded blondies and call it a day!

Any excuse to make blondies is a win in my book. There’s something very satisfying about tons of butter and sugar coming together to make a yummy snack that you can then share with all the people in your life.

Put whatever candy you enjoy in there — I used M&Ms (regular, caramel, & peanut), twix, crunch bars, and snickers. I just chopped them into bite sized pieces (aside from the m&ms) and threw them into the batter at the last second. This blondie batter will be very thick when you pour it into your pan, so make sure you *try* to evenly spread it around so that it will bake evenly in the oven.

Other than that, this recipe is easily halved if you don’t want to make a whole mess of candy studded blondies — and use whatever add-ins you might have laying around (Halloween candy or not) and enjoy!

Happy Baking!
