Whopper Blondies

I loooove malted things.  Chocolate malt milkshakes, Whoppers malted milk balls, even malt powder in hot chocolate.  So, when I saw this recipe for Whopper Blondies I had to try it.  It helps that, aside from the Whoppers, I had all the ingredients at home already.

Make sure to not overcook these.  The dark brown sugar makes them super chewy, so you don't want to cook them too long and have them turn out hard or dry.


Whopper Blondies
From Baking Junkie

2 sticks butter, room temperature
1 3/4 cups dark brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp malted milk powder
1 1/2 - 2 cups malted milk ball candies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and malt powder and set aside.

2. Put candies in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.  Or you could do it in a food processor, just be careful not to turn them totally into dust.  You don't want huge pieces here, no more than about 1/4 inch wide pieces.

3. With a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together brown sugar and butter until smooth.  Add eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth again.

4. Slowly add flour mixture and mix until combine, then add crushed candies.

5. Spread batter in a greased 9x13 pan.  Bake at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes.
