Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups Heath Bar toffee bits (or chopped Heath Bars)
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch
Equipment
- 9×13 inch baking pan
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer or whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rubber spatula
- Cooling rack
- Knife and cutting board (if chopping Heath Bars)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove. Allow it to cool slightly but keep it in liquid form.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer or whisk.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
- Fold in the Heath Bar toffee bits and nuts if using, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares. This helps them set perfectly.
Tips & Variations
“For the best texture, don’t overbake your blondies — they should be soft and chewy, not dry.”
- Make it extra gooey: Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips alongside the Heath Bar bits for an irresistible combination.
- Nut-free option: Simply omit nuts if you have allergies or prefer a smoother texture.
- Caramel drizzle: Once cooled, drizzle some warm caramel sauce on top for a decadent finish.
- Use different toffee bars: Substitute Heath Bars with Skor bars or any toffee candy for a slightly different flavor.
- Storage: Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
