These Rainbow Chip White Chocolate Blondies are insanely buttery, chewy blondies topped with colorful rainbow chips…or even sprinkles…and are made in one bowl with no mixer required!
I thought it had been a while since I posted any sort of bar recipe…I used to make them oh so often, and then I just got a little…I dunno…bored? Uninspired? What’s the word I am looking for here?
I mean, obviously I am not counting krispie treats…because I just feel like they are in a category in and of themselves. I’m talking butter, sugar, flour in a pan and baked…
Maybe what happened is that I was over-thinking it. Like over-thinking recipe ideas…too crazy? Too “done”? Too boring? Too whatever.
I’m hear now today saying that I am done overthinking sweet treats. Like is that really a PROBLEM in the world? No. There are bigger fish to fry. Clearly.
So let’s just get on with it and enjoy happy, colorful desserts made with butter, white chocolate and fairy dust. These bars are amazingly rich, chewy and buttery. They would be the perfect base for add-ins or drizzles. Plus, you don’t need to dirty up your mixer, so cheers to less dishes!
Again, if you don’t have those cute little rainbow chips that I used, please don’t worry. Use sprinkles instead! But, if you love those chips as much as I do, know I buy mine online HERE.
The batter is really simple. Yes, you will have to melt white chocolate so there’s that, but that’s the worst of it. Also, note that in the recipe I wrote to use the double boiler method for melting, which I prefer. However, you can melt your chocolate in the microwave if you choose. Just do it in 20 second increments, stirring between each so you don’t ruin your white chocolate.
Add all the ingredients right into the bowl where you melted the butter and chocolate, stirring to combine. Then spread it in a lined 9×9 pan.
Then go crazy and add your chips!
Bake them, let them cool and remove them from the pan!
Then certainly stack them high and snap a picture.
And maybe add a few more chips for dramatic effect. As one does.
Seriously these bars you guys. These bars.

Description
These Rainbow Chip White Chocolate Blondies are insanely buttery, chewy blondies topped with colorful rainbow chips…or even sprinkles…and are made in one bowl with no mixer required!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 cup butter, cubed
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

- When the mixture is melted remove from the heat. Add in the sugar and stir to combine. Add in the vanilla, eggs, and salt and stir until smooth.
- Finally stir in the flour until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the rainbow chips on top of the batter, pressing gently.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.
- Allow the bars to cool and then remove from the pan and cut.

Is it possible there’s a typo with the amount of butter in this recipe? Perhaps it’s only meant to be 1/2 cup (1 stick)? The batter was very thin before it baked, and it just didn’t bake up right. The finished product was a lot more browned than the recipe suggests it should be, bubbled up in a strange way along the edges, and was overwhelmingly buttery and greasy.
Hi! I have been dying to make these. Tried yesterday with my kids. I have only 8×8 pans, but I had a 9×9 ceramic (not sure that’s what it is, says it is oven safe) casserole dish. Anyway, I baked them and kept adding more are time. The outside was cooked but I COULDNT get the inside done. About an inch in, it is mush. The outside tastes amazing! But they are mostly super greasy. Was it the dish? Any ideas on what I did wrong? I wasn’t sure about the dish, but I’m normally a pretty decent baker. Maybe I’ll try again with my regular 8×8 or a 9x 7.2. I am determined to enjoy these (and so are my poor kids). Thanks! Love making your recipes!
These are really good! I made them yesterday. I live in The Netherlands and can’t buy these chips. So I used peanut butter peaces. And some salted caramel. Yum! The combination with white chocolate is so good. Thanks Shelly!
Great adaptation!!!
Definitely adding these to the must- try soon list!
