Are you still recovering from the sugar rush of the past week?

Our kids made out with a huge bag of candy, and they put a pretty good dent in it over the weekend.  I take no responsibility for the sugar comas that might have happened because I was traveling.

I guess devouring your candy at lightening speed is one way to get rid of it.

I did snag an extra bag of Butterfinger Bars to pass out, but then these blonde brownies happened.  They were seriously the best things ever.  I am pleading the fifth when it comes to saying how many I snacked on.  Let’s just say it wasn’t one 😉

I used my basic blonde brownie recipe.  It’s the same one I used when I made these M&M Blonde Brownies.  (You should make those too…just sayin.)  Then I added the entire bag of crushed Butterfinger candy bars.  Yup, you read that right.  An entire bag!!!  Woah!

And then because it just wasn’t crazy enough already…I added a chocolate frosting glaze.  Oh, my!  Talk about yum to the oh.  My chubby little fingers couldn’t stay out of the pan of these.  But I wasn’t going to say how many I ate, so forget you read that.

Just go find the leftover bags of candy, dig out all the Butterfinger bars, and go make your own pan.  I’m telling you, it’s so worth it.

Butterfinger Blonde Brownies

Peanut butter and Butterfinger candy bars take these blonde brownies to a new level. The chocolate glaze on top will have you drooling as you bite into bar after bar.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  1. Beat the butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter until creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla, and salt and beat again.
  2. Stir together the baking powder and flour and slowly add to the butter mixture until incorporated. Add the crushed Butterfinger bars and stir by hand gently.
  3. Spread the batter into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 22-23 minutes. Do not over bake. Remove and let cool completely.
  4. Pour the whipping cream in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and creamy. Spread over the top of the cooled blonde brownies.

    I just had to stop by and tell you how much I love your site design. I don’t know if you had it redesigned since the last time or if I’m just paying more attention, but either way, it’s fabulous. Your logo is adorable!

    There is nothing that I love more than throwing gobs of candy into a blondie! Or any baked good. These look phenomenal.
    And I’m thinking that your kids have the right idea, gobbling up all the candy before their food blogger mom can get to it for recipes!

    Halloween is about the only time of year when I regret moving to the country. We don’t have any trick-or-treaters come to our house, so no leftover candy:( Pair that with my kids being too old to trick or treat and it’s a sad situation… I love blondies and these look perfect, especially with a whole bag of Butterfingers inside!

    I heart butterfingers so much too. No one else likes them in the family, so I think I am going to have to sift through the halloween candy and make these asap. And don’t worry I wouldn’t eat only one too. But I stuff my face before the family gets home and sees. Hehe.
