It is National Candy Corn Day, very convenient as the Halloween Candy is starting to be on sale! I saw this little treat at The Little Kitchen and could not resist!! I thought I would add some pretzels instead of the suggested pecans- I love adding salty to sweets! A few sun-dried cherries would also be delicious!
- 3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pretzels
- 3/4 cup M&M white chocolate candy corn candies, chopped
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Take an 8×10-inch baking pan and cover in foil and spray with baking spray.
- Mix brown sugar and egg until it is well mixed, add vanilla and melted butter stirring until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients, flour, baking soda and salt.
- Slowly add flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until all is incorporated.
- Gently fold in pretzels and M&Ms (Reserve a tablespoon of each).
- Add batter to the pan, it will be thicker than a brownie or cake- you will have to spread the batter in the pan. Sprinkle some crushed M&M’s and pretzels over the top.
- Bake for about 25-28 minutes until the top is golden blonde!
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes and remove gently from pan.
- Makes 16-20 blondie squares.
Celebrate National Candy Corn Day and many Happy Haunts!
