Oven Baked 5-Ingredient Strawberry Cream Blondie Bars

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch rimmed baking pan or sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and packed light brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs until the mixture is thick and glossy.

3. Add flour: Add the all-purpose flour and stir just until combined with no dry streaks remaining.

4. Assemble: Spread the thick batter evenly into the prepared pan. Press the strawberry bon bon candies into the surface, spacing them evenly.

5. Bake: Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. The candies will soften and melt down into fruity pockets as they bake.

6. Cool and slice: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting out with the parchment paper and slicing into squares.
