Monster Blondies (with leftover Halloween candy)
We had a lot of leftover Halloween candy. Might as well bake with it!
I’m not a huge fan of blondies, but I liked these a lot! They’re slightly chewy, sweet, and buttery.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Line a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
If you don’t have a 9 x 9 pan, please refer to the Notes section below.Preheat oven to 350°F
- 2
Add all of the dry ingredients to a large bowl: flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine, and set aside.
- 3
Chop the chocolate candy into small pieces and set aside.
Ensure that your large eggs are at room temperature.
- 4
Measure the 1 cup of butter (equivalent to two sticks), then melt it in the microwave (or on the stove). Let it cool until it is just slightly warm.
- 5
Using a hand mixer, mix the butter and sugars on medium high speed until fluffy and lightened. This will take approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
- 6
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing for about 1 minute after each addition.
- 7
Add the vanilla and mix again. The mixture should now be fluffy and lightened in color.
- 8
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just a few small streaks of flour remain.
- 9
Gently fold in the candy.
- 10
Transfer the mixture to the prepared 9 x 9 pan and smooth out the top with a offset spatula.
- 11
Bake in the preheated 350° oven for 30 to 35 minutes. The top of the blondies should be a light golden brown.
Let them cool in the pan, then remove them by lifting up the foil or parchment paper and transferring them to a solid surface so that they can be cut into bars.
- 12
Decorate the blondes with candy eyes and/or other candies if you like.
- 13
If you’d like to make your own candy eyes, it’s surprisingly easy! Check out my recipe here:

NOTES:
👹. If you don’t have a 9x9” pan, you can use a 9x13” pan as a starting point. Use a ruler to measure 9 inches lengthwise, and fold the aluminum foil up to serve as a barrier as shown on the picture bellies. Lightly crumpled some other aluminum foil to help stopper the folded side.If you prefer to use the full 9 x 13” pan, bake for only 20 to 25 minutes.

NOTES:
👹. There are many types of chocolate candy that work well in this recipe. For this batch, I used:
- Snickers
- M&Ms
- Milky Way
- Twix
- RoloYou can use whatever you have on hand, or you can just use chocolate chips (or a mix of chocolate chips and nuts).

NOTES:
👹. If you like, you can press additional candy onto the surface of the blondies while they are still warm. Alternatively, you can top with sprinkles!

Cute Candy Cookies Cute Candy Cookies
I saw a cookie with a candy window on a TV show awhile ago. I thought if it could be made with a black cocoa cookie, it'd make for a nice contrast and be really cute, so I gave it a shot. When I put the candy in before baking the cookie dough would become smashed or stick to the candy and it was quite difficult. So I changed the procedure to add the candy during the middle of baking.Try to fill in the gaps with smashed candy bits as much as possible. The baking may differ depending on your household oven, so adjust the temperature and baking time as necessary. If the temperature is too hot, the candy may burn. It might be a good idea to have candy bits left over when baking so you can fill in any gaps. For the candy, I use orange and pineapple flavored Sakuma drops. Recipe by yotiko

Chocolate-Flavored Caramel Candies Chocolate-Flavored Caramel Candies
I'm always making caramel candies, but it's the season for Valentine's and I thought a chocolate-flavored version would be delicious.Since I had low-fat organic cream in the refrigerator I used cocoa powder. My boyfriend and I were all smiles.These are soft, and it seems a lot of people took issue with that.If they're still soft after freezing again, and mix very well over low heat until they stiffen. For 50 small pieces. Recipe by Urupi- -
Creamy Caramel Candy in the Microwave Creamy Caramel Candy in the Microwave
When I came out of the bath the other day, Satoda Mai, a famous Japanese celebrity, was on TV making creamy caramel candy with a pot. It was even officially recognized by Hanabatake Farm (a famous brand of caramels). I wondered if I could make it easier using a microwave, and hence came up with this recipe. I've slightly changed the ratio of ingredients to make in the microwave.-From Step 4 onwards, stir as if you're scraping it off the sides of the container. If you insert the spatula into the middle, the candy will bubble up and overflow. So, take care to stir carefully.-Please adjust the number of times you heat the batter according to your microwave.

Blondie Brownies Blondie Brownies
I made some adjustments to the batch I made. Instead of using brown sugar, I used 2 cups of sifted powdered sugar and a 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. I also added 1/3 cup of creamy peanut butter to my batter. As well as drizzling peanut butter icing over the top.
