Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Whisk in eggs and vanilla until fully incorporated.
Add salt, baking powder, and flour. Stir until just combined.
Fold in sprinkles and candy-coated chocolates, reserving some for topping.
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan and sprinkle reserved candies and sprinkles on top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and center is set.
Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.

For extra gooey blondies, remove from oven when slightly underbaked in the center.
You can use other seasonal candy colors for different holidays.
Blondies store well at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
