This recipe for blondies will knock your socks off, with Kit Kats and crisp rice cereal! Blondies cookies bars with chocolate chips.
Recently, two nieces had birthdays. I love letting my nieces and nephews come up with a custom cookie for their birthdays. Not only does it let me makes something super fun that’s just for them, but it pushes my own creativity.
Usually I ask them to choose some flavors they like, and I find a way to combine them into a cookie. One niece chose raspberry and chocolate, and the other, Blue Skies chose “Kit Kat.”
Her mom confessed that she wasn’t at all sure what I could do with a flavor request like that, but I think I won her over with this recipe.
I’ll tell you that the day I made these, I was baking up a storm. With at least 4 different baked good sitting on my counter, these blondies were the thing everyone wanted to pick at.
Myself included.
(See the flavors Blue Skies chose last year!)
Add these to your Cookies and Bars board on Pinterest!
I started with my fantastic basic blondie recipe, the one I used for these super popular bars.
I think my brilliant plan of adding crisp rice cereal to these blondies worked perfectly. It gave the bars that crispy, wafery, Kit-Kat feel to them, and sets them apart. In a good way.
Blue Skies agreed.
If you’ve got some candy bar-loving people in your life, or you want to surprise someone with a bar that stands just a little taller than it’s peers, this bar is your winner.
Does anyone want to make these for me on my birthday?

- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- i teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups flour
- ½ cup crisp rice cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 regular Kit-Kat bars
- Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- Add baking powder and flour and mix until combined. Add cereal and chocolate chips and mix until combined.
- Break Kit Kat bars into pieces. (I broke each of the 4 sticks into about 6 pieces, for 24 pieces total for each Kit Kat.) Add pieces to the dough, and stir just until combined.
- Place dough in a 9x13 pan, and spread evenly. Bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes. Bars should be quite brown on top when done. Let cool completely before cutting into bars. (They may look a bit gooey when they come out of the oven, but should solidify as they cool.)
- Cut into 15 large or 20 small bars.

Is it okay to omit the rice cereal?
It’s totally fine to leave the rice cereal out. Nothing else has to change.
Do you use self rising flour?
Or how much baking powder do I use?
