Movie Night:: “Blondes Have More Fun” Cookie Bars

No, I am not joking. These may very well be the richest, densest, crazy best blondies you have ever made. 

What do you get when you add a basic blondie bar recipe with Reese’s Pieces and dark chocolate chips. Umm…amazingness. 

I doubled this recipe (for all my friends, how much do I love you?!) but for the purpose of sharing the recipe with y’all, I’m going to give you the single recipe. 

Makes 16 squares

Ingredients:: 

  • 8 TBS unsalted butter (1 stick), melted, plus more for pan (or you can use nonstick spray – I do)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup 60% dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces

Directions::

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush an 8-inch square baking pan with butter; line pan with a piece of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Butter paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk butter and sugars until smooth. Whisk in egg and vanilla. Add flour and salt; mix just until moistened (do not overmix). Fold in 1/2 cup each chocolate chips and Reese’s Pieces. Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips and Reese’s Pieces. 
  3. Bake until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Set pan on a wire rack, and let cool completely. Using parchment overhang, lift cake from pan and transfer to a cutting board; cut into 16 squares. Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 2 days

Trust me. This batter is SO thick. If you can find a small child or perhaps a very talented pet to help you pour this out of the bowl, do it. I’m not kidding when I say it hurt my arm to hold the bowl and try to get this into the pan at the same time.

Quite frankly, I don’t believe that you could go wrong by involving these in any recipe.
