Ultimate Cookies and Cream Blondies

The only thing better than leftover Halloween candy? Mega on SALE Halloween candy! I found myself at CVS yesterday afternoon heading to the counter with 8 bags of fun-sized candy bars (and 3 bottles of nail polish) all marked 75% off. SCORE! I seriously cannot resist a good deal! And why should I? You can never have too much candy…

If I ran the world I’d shower you all in tiny candy bars and Oreo cookies. I’m a treat yo’ self and others kind of lady 😉

One of the bags I purchased contained miniature cookies and cream candy bars… and I knew just what to make! Ultimate cookies and cream blondies! I love – no LOVE – blondies, and every time I make a batch I say to myself “damn girl, you gotta make these more often!” They are just the best! Thick, chewy, loaded with crunchy Oreos and gooey cookies and cream candy pieces. Le sigh… I’m pretty sure I ate three before I took one single photo. For recipe testing purposes, of course 😉

P.S. how funny is this frown face spatula? I use it whenever I want a good chuckle. Wait… is it weird that a mad face makes me smile? #issues.
Ultimate Cookies and Cream Blondies are the perfect thing to make when you want something that’s no fuss, no hassle, no fancy/expensive ingredients needed BUT is totally tasty, seductive, and delicious! The batter takes about 5 minutes to throw together and you won’t need to bust out the stand mixer – or even handheld mixer for this recipe. Just a few bowls and a spatula and you’re set!

• 2 1/8 cups all purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped cookies and cream chocolate candy bars (I used Hershey's brand)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees (F). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
2. In a medium-sized bowl mix the flour, salt, and baking soda together until well combined; set aside. In a separate larger bowl whisk the melted butter and sugars together until well combined.
