Do you have some candy bars that are begging to be used? Make a batch of super simple candy bar blondies to share. They are a perfect way to use up leftover Halloween, Christmas and Easter candy.
These sheet pan blondies are soft and delicious. They are topped with tons of chopped up candy bars. You can use your favorites, or whatever you have on hand.
Use all one kind of candy bar, or mix it up. No matter what, these chewy blondies are sure to be a hit.
This makes a nice big half sheet pan full of brown sugar blondies, so there will be plenty to share. But don’t worry, they won’t stay around long!
Why You’ll Love These Blondies
The batter is super simple to put together. You don’t need a mixer, just a bowl and a spatula or whisk.
It makes a 13×18-inch pan of blondies. So the batch is perfect for sharing or bringing to a potluck.
However, you can cut the recipe in half and bake it in a 9×13-inch pan if you prefer. Just check it a couple of minutes early to make sure it doesn’t get over baked.
You can use chocolate chips or even chocolate chunks, if you don’t have candy bars. But I like the fun variance of using leftover candies.
Some bites have a bit of caramel, some have a little peanut and each bit is deliciously unique.

If you have extra candy bars lying around after Halloween, Christmas or Easter, you can chop them up, freeze them and pull them out through out the year for delicious baked goods.
(I know… extra candy?! Apparently that’s a thing. Who knew?)
If nothing else, you can make good use of the after holiday clearance candy!
What is the different between a brownie and a blondie?
While both brownies and blondies are usually chewy and delicious, brownies feature chocolate as their main flavor. Blondies are lighter in color and usually feature brown sugar and vanilla as the primary flavors.

thank you!
I might have to try these tonight. I need something sweet in my life! …And our chickens started laying recently, so I have eggs out the ying yang. lol
I always need something sweet in my life! This would a great way to use some eggs! I hope you enjoy them!
These do sound so delish! Extra candy? Really? I've never heard of that! LOL At least not if it's chocolate. Perhaps there are other candies, the yucky kind, that could be left over. But never chocolate. But you could stock up after Easter and Halloween when the goodies go on sale. Then you could make these fun cookies all the time. I think I'm going to make a point of that. I love that they are bar style, no muss, no fuss, just delish! YUM!
I know, extra candy bars seems like a fairy tale. But I made what I had left from a conference into bars so as to not just mindlessly eat it all myself! It would be a great way to use clearance candy or a good excuse to buy clearance candy if nothing else!
Big pans of bars are meant for co-workers! I know my co-workers will thank you 🙂
Mine did! They were gone in a jiffy which is always a good sign!
I can’t wait to gobble up lotsa these blondies! !
Ha! Me too! Thanks, Karly!
haha – I can so understand the slowing down on sweets to make the jeans fit – and I am so looking forward to your fall desserts – pumpkin everything is my favorite (except I don't really like pumpkin pie – weird I know.) What a great use for your left over bag of candy too – I am always looking for a good new recipe to bring to a potluck and this one looks great – thanks – stopping by from #WayWow
Too funny! I will certainly eat pumpkin pie if it is place in front of me, but of all of the pumpkin treats it isn't my favorite either. Thanks so much!
These must be ooey-gooey good! The people at my office would hate me, but eat every single one of them! I like easy and good recipes!
Wishes for tasty dishes,
Linda
They are! I'm sure they'd snap them up in a flash (and secretly enjoy every bite!) even if they are trying to be "good!" Thanks, Linda!
So fun!! I love the idea of throwing in whatever candy bars you like. I think I'll try three different ones and see if my family can guess which ones. Love these!!
I had a mixed bag left over from a conference I exhibited at for work. Rather than bring the extra candy to the lab like I normally would, I baked them into these! They were really good that way too, I think this might be a post conference tradition!
