Print Recipe

These candy corn blondies are the ultimate Halloween treat—easy to make in one bowl, with simple ingredients, and a buttery, chewy texture that will have everyone asking for the recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups (about 225g) candy corn, plus ¼ cup for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
  2. Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts. Let cool for about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter. Whisk until smooth and combined.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until glossy and slightly thickened.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups of candy corn. Reserve about ¼ cup for the top.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Press the reserved candy corn into the top.
  9. Bake for 22-26 minutes, until edges are golden and center is set but slightly soft. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.

Notes

For best results, use fresh candy corn that feels slightly soft. Do not overmix the batter to keep blondies chewy. Cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling. Blondies taste even better the next day.
