Addictive Marzipan Blondie Bites

Perfect for indefinite snacking, or for those times when life throws you things that knock you down and you’re yet to find the strength to get back up.
Marzipan Blondie Bites Marzipan Blondie Bites

Small and cute, but highly addictive, these marzipan blondie bites are filled with goodness that make them irresistible.

These Marzipan Blondies Bites are filled with sweet white chocolate, marzipan chunks and a whole lot of rainbow sprinkles. They’re gooey, moorish. And fun, in a childish sense. A good, humble blondie is something I’ll never be able to resist, they’re often what I crave – and something I love making. Make me a blondie, and I’ll be yours, forever.

Though you can cut them however you desire, in bars, slices, boldly in triangles – I prefer to cut the blondie into mini bite-sized cubes. Mainly because they’re just so god-damn little, addictive and cute. Put them into a bowl, and it’s almost like popcorn, dangerous. You can eat ten and still feel like a champion.

Step by Step Guide to Making Marzipan Blondies with Sprinkles


  1. Preparation:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
    • Grease and line an 18cm (7-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Melt Butter and Chocolate:

    • Place half of the white chocolate in a large mixing bowl.
    • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat until golden. Pour over the white chocolate and let sit for one minute before stirring until smooth.

  4. Combine Wet Ingredients:

    • Stir the light brown sugar into the melted butter and chocolate mixture until well combined.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next.
    • Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.

  5. Combine with Dry Ingredients:

    • Gently fold half of the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in the remaining flour.
    • Stir in marzipan chunks, remaining white chocolate, and sprinkles.

  6. Bake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
    • Bake for 35-45 minutes until golden brown and slightly soft in the center.
    • Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  7. Serving:

    • Once cooled, cut into bite-sized pieces and serve.

Recipe Notes:

  • Ensure the white chocolate is finely chopped for even melting.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the texture soft and chewy.
  • Cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
  • Substitute marzipan with almond paste if marzipan is unavailable, adjusting sugar accordingly.
