Walnut Candy Bar Blonde Brownies

I actually had made these with the purpose of sharing them with you on #NationalBlondeBrownieDay but that day, came and went and I forgot to share. And I made them with my own twist, which includes leftover Halloween chocolate candy because we had plenty around and I love adding extra chunks of chocolate to my brownies whenever possible.

I love to somehow incorporate my favorite chocolate candy into a recipe especially a brownie one whenever I have plenty of it around. I have always had a soft spot in my tummy for a good brownie, I can't help it. Feel free to incorporate your favorite chocolate candy bars into it, either way, it'll be delicious and to your liking.

In other Blonde brownie recipes that I've came across I noticed that there weren't many with the walnuts but I don't regret adding them. As a topping it adds the perfect crunch not to mention that perfect sweet and salty to the brownie.  I love adding walnuts to my baked recipes whenever I can plus they're good for you! 

These pictures don't do them justice to be honest.  This weekend is the perfect excuse to make these and you'll want to keep some for yourself, I promise!
