Grinch Inspired Blondies
Ingredients
Scale
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) salted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- Green food coloring (mix lime + classic green for best color)
- ¼ cup crushed Andes Peppermint Crunch or candy canes
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup Christmas sprinkles
- Heart sprinkles and extra Christmas sprinkles, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9-inch square pan with parchment, leaving an overhang.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl, beat butter and both sugars until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in vanilla, peppermint extract, and eggs one at a time.
- Add dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Tint with green food coloring until you get that Grinchy shade. Fold in crushed peppermint, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan. Top with heart sprinkles and extra festive bits. Bake 26–28 minutes, until edges are golden and the center looks set.
- Cool completely in the pan, then chill for 1 hour for fudgier bars. Slice into squares and serve at room temp.
