These Kinder Bueno blondies are chewy, fudgy and super easy to make. They're perfect for dessert, bake sales, birthday parties and any other occasion that requires a sweet treat!
If you love Kinder desserts then you're going to absolutely adore these Kinder Bueno blondies! I know I say this all the time but these are truly one of my favourite desserts that I've made so far!
They're packed full of Kinder chocolate, Kinder Bueno, and white and milk chocolate chips. And texture-wise, they're dense and fudgy with slightly crisp, chewy edges. I can't wait to hear what you think of them!
As always, I've written detailed notes and instructions below for the beginner bakers and a short version in the recipe card at the end of the post for those who are more experienced. Enjoy!
What's the difference between a blondie and a brownie?
Although they're both dense, chewy dessert bars, a brownie is made with chocolate and/or cocoa powder whereas a blondie is not. Blondies have more of a caramel/butterscotch flavour. They are also typically made with brown sugar, unlike brownies which are made with white granulated or caster sugar.
Aside from the flavour, the two desserts are pretty similar in texture. Soft, chewy edges with a fudgy, dense centre. I like to describe my Kinder Bueno blondies as a combination of fudge, cake and cookies!
Ingredient list
Here's what you'll need to make these Kinder blondies:
- Melted butter: This helps to create the chewy texture in blondies, especially if you refrigerate them after baking.
- Caster sugar: I like to use a mixture of both caster and brown sugar for the best flavour and texture. Caster sugar is just a very fine version of granulated white sugar, also known as superfine sugar.
- Brown sugar: Soft, light brown sugar produces the best flavour in this recipe.
- Eggs: Eggs give the blondies structure and leavening without the need for baking powder.
- Vanilla: To enhance the base flavour.
- Flour: Always use plain flour (all-purpose) for blondies. If you use self-raising flour, the blondies will end up more cakey than fudgy.
- Kinder chocolate: Using Kinder chocolate pieces in the blondies just absolutely takes them to the next level! I used 150g total, which is around 7 Kinder Maxi bars, or 12 of the smaller ones.
- Kinder Bueno: To make Kinder Bueno blondies, we'll of course need some Kinder Bueno. They come in both milk and white chocolate flavours so feel free to use whichever you prefer.
- Chocolate chips: I added a small amount of chocolate chips to make sure there was a good dose of chocolate in each bite. I used milk and white chocolate chips.
Equipment/tools
- 8x8-inch tin: The best size to use for Kinder blondies to get the perfect thickness and a chewy texture! I don't recommend using another tin size.
- Baking paper: To stop the blondies from sticking to the tin.
- Bowls: A large bowl for mixing and a heatproof bowl to melt the butter in.
- Utensils: A wooden spoon for mixing and a sharp knife for cutting later on. I also like to use a rubber spatula for pressing the Kinder blondie mixture into the tin easily.
- Food scale: To make sure your measurements are accurate and the blondies turn out as they should.
How to make Kinder Bueno blondies
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 160°C (or 140°C if you're using a fan oven). Line an 8x8-inch tin with baking paper.
Step 2: Melt 120g of butter and set it aside to cool for a few moments. Cooling it slightly will prevent it from cooking the flour when you add it.
Step 3: Add the melted butter to a large bowl with 130g of caster sugar and 130g of soft light brown sugar. Mix well. The mixture should look a bit like very wet sand.
Step 4: Next, stir in 3 medium eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The mixture should now look silky and glossy.
Step 5: Fold 200g of plain flour into the wet mixture. You should end up with a smooth, thick batter.
Step 6: Break 150g of Kinder chocolate and 4 sticks of Kinder Bueno into segments then fold them into the batter along with 40g milk chocolate chips and 40g white chocolate chips.
Step 7: Transfer the batter to your lined tin and press it into place. Try to make sure that no Kinder Bueno pieces are poking out the top because they'll burn in the oven. You can add extra Kinder chocolate pieces or chocolate chips on top if you like.
Step 8: Bake your Kinder blondies for around 35-40 minutes then let them cool in the tin.
Once they've cooled enough, put them in the fridge overnight or for at least 3-4 hours (this is key for an ultra-chewy blondie). Then just remove them from the tin, cut them into squares and enjoy!
Top tips
- Try to make sure that the Kinder Bueno pieces are covered with the batter and that they're not sticking out on top. Because of their delicate nature, they will burn if they are exposed in the oven.
- Bake in an 8x8-inch tin for the perfect thickness and texture. I haven't tested this recipe with any other tin size so I'm not sure about baking times in larger or smaller tins, sorry.
- Use a food scale and do not make any substitutions for guaranteed success.
Blondies FAQ
They'll last for around 5 days at room temperature or for at least a week in the fridge. In any case, make sure to keep them in an airtight container to preserve freshness.
Yes, they can be put into airtight containers and frozen for up to 3 months. To defrost, simply transfer them to the fridge and leave overnight. Do not refreeze.
Blondies should be a little gooey in the middle when they first come out of the oven (but not wet). A key step in this recipe is to put them in the fridge overnight. This will help the fat to become firm again, creating a chewy texture and allowing you to cut your blondies into slices easily.
This can happen if you've baked them for too long or if you're using a fan oven and haven't adjusted the temperature accordingly. It can also be down to an oven that runs too hot, inaccurate measuring or using self-raising flour instead of plain flour.
So if the toothpick test doesn't work in this case, how do you know when blondies are done?
Firstly, they should have deep golden edges and a lightly golden centre. This is key! Don't pull the blondies out yet if the middle is still pale.
Secondly, look for the edges of the blondies pulling away from the tin. Much like brownies, Kinder blondies will move away from the edges of the tin slightly when they're done baking.
And lastly, there should be a slight wobble in the middle, but not too much! You want them to be gooey but not totally uncooked.
