Use up your leftover Halloween candy with these Butterfinger Blondies recipe. Quick and easy to make, they make a great dessert idea.
Did you know that they sell mini Butterfingers all year round?
I had no idea until a couple of days ago. I asked my students what their favourite candy is and one of my students said Butterfingers. That definitely surprised me because, one: mini Butterfingers were always my least favourite candy in my Halloween candy growing up, and two: I had no idea they sold them year round.
So I headed to Target, and look what I found!
Enter these Butterfinger Blondies. For people who like Butterfingers.
And also people who don’t like them, but like to use up leftover Halloween candy.
That’s me. I always have leftover Butterfingers when I buy Halloween candy.
Plus they are so easy to make too. All you need is:
- butter
- brown sugar
- eggs
- vanilla
- flour
- baking powder
- cornstarch
- Butterfingers
That’s it!
So using your pantry essentials, you can whip up these blondies in no time!
Don’t have Butterfingers? No worries! You can switch up the mix-ins with whatever you like. Get creative with it!

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

I have seen lots of blondies recipes, but never ones with butterfinger! How fun.

I love this butterfinger blondies recipe! I haven’t made many blondies before, but my family and especially my kids would love these. I can’t wait to try these out. They look so soft! Thank you.
Thanks! Let me know how they go 🙂
I usually bake every Sunday with my daughter so that my wife can have a lie in. However, I reckon she will be racing down the stairs when she smells these and I’ll have to beat her off them until they cool no doubt!
Waiting for them to cool is always the hardest part 😉
Heaven sent! I am in love with this! This is so much fun to make + very delish! I am so excited to try this with my family. Thank you!
Yay! I hope your family loves it as much as mine does 🙂
