Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 Cup Butter, melted
  • 1 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup White Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
  • 1 Large Egg Yolk
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 1/3 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Mix-Ins

  • 3/4 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 3/4 Cup Peanut Butter Chips
  • 1 Cup Reese’s Pieces
  • 5 Oreos, chopped
  • Halloween Sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature while preparing the batter.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Mix on medium speed for about 1 minute until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Peanut Butter and Egg Yolk: Stir in the peanut butter and the egg yolk. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the remaining two eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  6. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet Mixture: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing which could cause toughness.
  7. Add Mix-Ins: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, Reese’s Pieces, and chopped Oreos until evenly distributed.
  8. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease and line an 8×11 or 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the blondies.
  9. Press Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and press it down evenly to create a uniform layer.
  10. Add Sprinkles and Bake: Sprinkle Halloween sprinkles evenly on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 16 squares and enjoying.

Notes

  • Do not overbake; blondies are best with a slightly fudgy center.
  • For easier clean-up, line the baking pan with parchment paper extending over the sides to lift the blondies easily.
  • Mix-ins can be customized with other candies or nuts based on preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
