Turn classic blondies into a colorful treat with these funfetti blondies. The quick and simple recipe comes together in no time to make a tasty treat.
Chewy Funfetti Blondies
Funfetti is always a good idea. An even better idea, though? These funfetti blondies. This simple treat takes a classic blondie and loads it up with sprinkles to turn it into a funfetti dessert worth every bite. The addition of sprinkles is so simple and makes every bite so much better.
Blondies are one of my favorite desserts to make. They are like a vanilla cousin to brownies and come together just as quickly. Because the blondie batter is very plain, it holds super well to mix-ins. You can pretty much add anything into the batter, like peanut butter or even white chocolate and cranberry. These funfetti are more of a classic choice but combine just as well in the batter.
Taste-wise, the sprinkles don't add a whole lot of value. They are more for aesthetic value, but who doesn't want sprinkles swimming around their blondies? They really make everything better, even if they don't add a whole lot of flavor.
Since the sprinkles are tasteless, I like to throw some white chocolate chips in them. They add a bit of sweetness to the batter and make the sprinkles pop in color!
