Sweet and Salty Candy Bar Blondies

Ingredients

• ½ cups Unsalted Butter
• 1-½ cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
• 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Table Salt
• ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
• 2 whole X-large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• ½ cups Honey Roasted Peanuts
• ¼ cups Reese’s Pieces (I Used Mini But Regular Sized Would Work, Too)
• ⅓ cups Chopped Heath Bars (for 1/3 Cup You'll Need Roughly 8 Minis)

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.

In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar, stirring constantly. Remove pan 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 the prepared baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove pan from the oven and set aside to cool before cutting.

Note: Blondies will stay fresh for several days if wrapped or packaged in an airtight container. They also freeze incredibly well. Just wrap them tightly in tin foil before freezing.
