Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare a 13×9-inch baking pan by coating it with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
-
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and well combined.
-
Add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Gradually blend in the flour mixture until fully incorporated.
-
Stir in 1 1/4 cups of chopped candy bars into the batter until evenly distributed.
-
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top.
-
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped candy bars over the top of the batter.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. I prefer mine baked for exactly 25 minutes for a chewy texture.
-
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into bars.
