Fireworks Blondies

Introduction

There’s nothing quite like Fireworks Blondies for capturing the jubilant spirit of a celebration. These decadent bars feature a chewy, buttery base speckled with colorful sprinkles and bursts of candy-coated chocolate, echoing the dazzle of fireworks on a festive night. Whether you’re hosting a Fourth of July barbecue, birthday party, or simply want to brighten an ordinary day, Fireworks Blondies will be the centerpiece of your dessert table.

Why Fireworks Blondies Are a Crowd Favorite

What sets Fireworks Blondies apart is their irresistible combination of fudgy chew and vivid pops of color—every bite crackles with sweet, celebratory flavors. The vanilla-forward blondie base acts as the perfect canvas for adding lively mix-ins like red, white, and blue sprinkles or popping candy, making these treats as fun to look at as they are to eat.

Creating Easy, Colorful Blondies

The beauty of these blondies is their simplicity; ingredients are mixed in one bowl, poured into a pan, and baked to chewy perfection. To guarantee even baking and effortless removal, line your baking pan with a strip from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll. This ensures your blondies release with clean edges, making slicing and serving a breeze.

Vivid Mix-Ins and Chewy Perfection

For that signature “fireworks” look, fold vibrant sprinkles and candy-coated chocolate gems into the batter. If you want extra uniformity when prepping your candy and chocolate, a quick dice with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper delivers even-size pieces for better distribution.

Once baked, let the blondies cool completely before slicing. Use a sharp chef’s knife and wipe it clean between cuts for beautiful, sharp-edged dessert bars.

Serving, Transport, and Summer Entertaining Tips

Fireworks Blondies are just as good for sharing as they are for snacking solo. If you’re taking them to a picnic or outdoor event, stack your squares neatly in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to keep them fresh and mess-free. And if your celebration includes a large group, serve blondies atop a Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable for a quick, easy party clean-up.

Blondies are delicious on their own or gilded with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an irresistible sundae bar effect.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with a strip of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until fully combined.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and glossy.
4. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until no dry spots remain—do not overmix for maximum chewiness.
5. Gently fold in the sprinkles, chocolate gems, and popping candy (if using). If you want perfectly diced candies, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for quick prep.
6. Scrape the thick batter into your lined pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 22–26 minutes, until the blondies are set at the edges and lightly golden, but still soft in the center.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan. Protect your hands with the KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set when handling the hot pan.
9. Once cooled, lift the blondies out using the parchment overhang and transfer to a cutting board for slicing. Store bars in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for freshness.
