Snickers Bar Blondies

Teresa’s Bake Shop – Christmas Cookie Extravaganza – 2012

Snickers Bar Blondies are simply to die for! Each 9×13″ pan has 3 cups of scrumptious chopped Snickers Bars. Oh,  my! Deliciousness at its best. These blondies are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Rich, gooey caramel, chocolate, and peanuts fill every bite of this decadent, rich, tempting bar. You and your family will love these wonderful goodies.

Every year after thanksgiving I use up all the Halloween candy making some kind of bar-type cookies. I usually end up making one with Snickers, one with Heath Bars, and one with Reese Cups. And yes, each one is amazing. I base the recipe on my favorite blondie recipe, Chunky Blond Brownies.

I have used this basic recipe with every type of chip, every type of cookie, every type of nut, even dried fruits and every one has come out quite spectacularly.

I will admit this is a sugar high waiting to happen. If you are looking for a delicious new brownie-type recipe to try this holiday season, or you just want to use up a lot of leftover Halloween candy, this is the recipe for you! But make sure you don’t overbake these bars.

Cook them just until done 25-30 minutes – no longer than 35 minutes. If you can get your family to stop eating them you may be able to take them along to a holiday party or other function…….but don’t count on having any leftovers!

When I initially posted this recipe in November 2012, I was making them for my yearly Christmas Cookie Extravaganza. Unfortunately I was still using an iPhone for a camera so my pictures were not as crisp and clear as I would have liked. Plus, my pictures were too gaudy and busy with Christmas decorations.

I recently remade a batch of these delectable treats (July 2016) and retook the pictures. The first time I made this recipe I used 4 cups of chopped Snickers Bars. While the blondies were okay, it was too much sugar so that the bars almost caramelized while baking.

This time I baked the bars with only 3 cups of chopped Snickers Bars and the outcome was incredibly better. I also purchased unwrapped Snickers Mini Bites to make these. It was so much easier than unwrapping all those miniature candies! In fact, I thought these blondies turned out perfectly. Whether you want to make these for Christmas, to use up Halloween candy, or make to take to a tailgating game, these Snickers Bar Blondies are terrific. I hope you give them a try.

I used these ingredients. Snickers now have these unwrapped bites so all I did was chop them – no unwrapping!

    Could I make these gluten free or would I have a problem with the gluten free flour, I don’t know of any I bleached gf flour?

    1. Teresa Ambra

      November 4, 2023 at 3:59 pm

      Hi lisa, yes you can make them with gluten free flour (a totally different process than wheat flour), but the problem is, I think the Snickers candies are not gluten free. You can look at the packaging, but they may have gluten in them. But you can substitute a good quality gluten free flour for regular flour in just about any kind of recipe these days.

      1. Lisa

        November 5, 2023 at 11:10 am

        Thank you Theresa, snickers are gluten free, so I an excited to try these with left over Halloween candy.

    I am a little late to the game here but made these on a whim last night and they DO NOT DISAPPOINT! That blondie recipe is the perfect base for so many adaptations! I added one bag of Snickers Bites (unchopped…I am lazy and it worked fine), about ¾ cup of homemade Butterfinger, half a bag of peanut butter chips and a handful of m&m’s I had leftover from another bake. These are chewy and dense and just simply perfect! I will definitely be making these again and again….I bet they will be amazing with leftover Halloween candy too!

    1. Teresa

      October 25, 2018 at 6:53 am

      Hi, Christine, yes they are amazing and this recipe is terrific with all kinds of leftover Halloween candy….believe me, I’ve tried lots of them. 🙂 So glad you enjoyed the recipe. It’s a keeper.

    How Can I cut this recipe in half, help I want to make it haha

    1. Teresa

      November 1, 2017 at 8:58 pm

      Hi, Abrian. I would cut the ingredients in half and spread into an 8×12″ glass baking dish or a 9×9″ glass baking dish. Start your cooking time at about 20 minutes and keep checking frequently until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

    Very dry. Will not make again.

    1. Teresa

      March 7, 2017 at 1:04 pm

      Wow, we’ve never had any problem with these blondies being dry since they have so many Snickers bars cut up into them. I will say the dough really needs to be stirred thoroughly so all the ingredients stick together well before spreading into the baking dish. If you feel like the dough is too dry you can also add just a little bit of milk to moisten the dough (whether in this recipe or any other), and that should work.

    I had only 2 cups of chopped snickers left from Halloween and added 1 cup chopped lightly salted peanuts. These bars are fantastic. A little greasy though. Maybe I would use a little less butter.

    1. Teresa

      November 2, 2016 at 10:49 pm

      Hi, Kate, so glad you enjoyed the blondies. I’ve even used up to 4 cups of chopped Snickers before so there’s certainly a lot of sugar and butter involved!
