💭 FAQs

Best Way to Store Halloween Blondies

Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, refrigeration is recommended, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving.

Can I Use Different Types of M&M's for This Recipe?

Yes, you can use regular M&M's or any preferred variety. However, using the Ghoul’s Mix adds a festive touch with its Halloween-themed colors.

How Do I Achieve the Right Shade of Orange for the Blondies?

To achieve an orange hue, consider adding a small amount of orange gel food coloring to the batter. Be cautious not to add too much, as it can affect the flavor.

Can I Add Nuts or Other Mix-Ins to the Blondies?

Absolutely! Feel free to fold in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits to customize the blondies to your taste.
