These Easy Fireworks Blondies are a fun twist on the classic treat! Full of yummy brown sugar and loaded with colorful sprinkles, they’re just bursting with joy in every bite.
Honestly, I can’t resist sneaking a piece as soon as they come out of the oven! They’re a perfect dessert for parties or any day that needs a little sparkle. 🎉
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Unsalted Butter: This gives a rich flavor. If you only have salted butter, just reduce the added salt a bit.
Light Brown Sugar: It adds sweetness and moisture. You could use dark brown sugar for a deeper flavor or even coconut sugar for a healthier twist.
Red, White, and Blue M&M’s: Feel free to switch these out for seasonal chocolates or your favorite candy. Even plain chocolate chips work nicely! I love using seasonal colors for fun occasions.
Sprinkles: While I used red and blue, you can use any sprinkles you have on hand. Rainbow sprinkles always bring a smile!
How Do I Ensure My Blondies Are Chewy and Perfect?
Getting the right texture can be tricky, but here are some easy tips:
- Mix the butter and sugar well to create a nice cream before adding eggs. This helps to incorporate air for a lighter texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined for that chewy goodness.
- Keep an eye on the baking time. Using a toothpick, pull them out when there are a few moist crumbs; they will continue to cook as they cool.

How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes of prep time and 25-30 minutes for baking. After that, it’s best to let your blondies cool completely before cutting them into squares, which usually takes about 30 minutes. So in total, you’re looking at around 1 hour and 10 minutes from start to enjoy!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare Your Pan:
Start by turning on your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating up, grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal later. This will make your life so much easier when it’s time to cut the blondies!
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, pour in the melted butter and brown sugar. Use a whisk or a spatula to mix them together until it’s nice and smooth. This is where the magic begins!
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Crack in your eggs, adding them one at a time. Make sure to beat well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract to give your blondies that delicious flavor.
4. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This is so every bite of your blondie has an even distribution of flavor!
5. Mix It All Together:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until it’s just combined — don’t overdo it! You want these blondies to be soft and chewy.
6. Fold in the Fun Stuff:
Gently fold in half of the M&M’s and the chocolate chips into the batter. This is where we add some serious fun to our treats!
7. Spread the Batter:
Pour your mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Make sure you get it all to the edges for even baking.
8. Add The Toppings:
Now it’s time to sprinkle on the remaining M&M’s and those beautiful red and blue sprinkles over the top. This makes them super festive!
9. Bake:
Slide the pan into your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them! You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs — not wet batter!
10. Cool and Serve:
After baking, allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut them into squares, and enjoy the colorful, festive flavors!
Enjoy the chewy, fun burst of flavors in these Easy Fireworks Blondies!
