Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 small mixing bowl
- 1 9×13-inch baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup broken pretzels
- 1/2 cup rice krispies cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray
- In a small bowl mix flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat well. Add the flour mixture in thirds, mixing well each time.
- Using a large spoon, fold in baking chips, then crushed pretzels, and finally rice krispies. The batter will be thick.
- Transfer brownie batter to prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or clean hands (see tips below) to press down and spread out evenly. Top with mini marshmallows and slightly press each one into the batter. This is also a good time to add a few extra pretzels or other toppings you'd like to showcase.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The top should be golden brown and the edges slightly crisp. Let cool at least 15-minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
Tips:
- Don’t overmix the batter- Overmixing the batter can cause the blondies to be dense and not rise. Plus, you don’t want to crush the cereal too much.
- Grease hands before pressing into the pan- The batter is thick and sticky so having slick fingers will help spread the mixture evenly.
- Add a few mix-ins to the top of the blondie batter– In addition to the marshmallows, I like to add a few more broken pieces of pretzels. It looks fun and adds more crunch.
- Cereal– Lightly crushed corn flakes or corn chex. Cocoa krispies, or honey bunches of oats.
- Nuts– Use finely chopped pecans, almonds or walnuts. 1/4-1/2 cup
- Potato chips– Gently crumble plain potato chips over the top of the blondie just before baking.
- Baking chips– Use a combination of white chocolate, semi-sweet, and peanut butter chips.
- Coconut- Use sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut. 1/4-1/2 cup
