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?

These look incredible! My husband loves Blondies, so I am definitely making these! Thank you for sharing them at the #SmallVictoriesSundayLinkup!
I love bar cookies! They are so much fun to make and eat, and great for summer picnic and barbecue treats. I know that they certainly would not last long, my 16 yr old would gobble them up quickly. Thanks for sharing! Stopping by from Small Victories Sunday and hope you have a great week!
These look so pretty and sound so tasty!

I have 3 aunts who live in Canada, so my mom always has smarties in the fridge. Which means every time I go visit my parents, I eat way too many Smarties. But they’re so good!!!
These look like so much fun! Love the colors – My kids will get excited about these!!
