The Story Behind These Blondies
When I first made these, I thought, Could I really love a blondie more than a brownie? And then I took a bite—chewy, buttery, vanilla-packed perfection with a little crunch from the sprinkles. My husband, who claims he’s a chocolate-only dessert guy, couldn’t stop eating them. My kids? They thought it was the coolest “birthday cake cookie bar” ever.
Now, I make them for every special occasion. Whether it’s a school bake sale, a last-minute dessert for a friend’s birthday, or just a way to brighten up a Monday, these blondies always bring smiles.

Tips for the Best Funfetti Blondies
- Use the right sprinkles – Stick to jimmies (rod-shaped sprinkles), not nonpareils (the tiny round ones), which can bleed color.
- Don’t overbake – The center should be slightly soft when you take them out. They’ll firm up as they cool!
- For extra chewiness – Use dark brown sugar for deeper caramel flavor.
- Want thicker blondies? – Use a 9×9-inch pan instead for a slightly thicker bar.
Substitutions & Variations
- Swap white chocolate chips for semi-sweet or milk chocolate for a different flavor.
- Make them extra festive by using holiday-themed sprinkles (red & green for Christmas, pastels for Easter, etc.).
- Love nuts? Add ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
- Dairy-Free? Use vegan butter and dairy-free white chocolate.
Make a Healthier Version
- Use coconut sugar instead of white and brown sugar for a refined sugar-free version.
- Substitute half the butter with unsweetened applesauce for lower fat.
- Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose for more fiber.
