Smarties Blondies

Smarties means two different things to a Canadian and an American. In Canada, we picture the colourful candy coated chocolate treats. I think of the old commercial from the 80s, “When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?”.  In the USA, Smarties are little candy tablets known as Rockets here. Same candy, different name.

In this recipe, I’m using Canadian Smarties. If you’re in the USA and can’t find them, use another type of candy coated chocolate in its place or pick some up on Amazon.

This post is not sponsored, but I did receive some of the spring themed Smarties to try. They also included a recipe for these scrumptious Smarties Blondies. I made them for my family and they turned out fabulous so I took some photos to share with you!

I used the Smarties Spring Mix canister which is available for a limited time only. When it’s not Spring, use regular boxes of Smarties. The Spring Mix is filled with pastel colours and makes a pretty dessert, don’t you think?

Are you a Smarties fan?
