Easy Mermaid Blondie Bars
Eek. I love mermaid everything. Mermaid food is a hot trend that isn't going anywhere, so I figured it was about time to share mermaid party dessert ideas. With mermaid parties being totally popular right now, this easy go-to recipe is going to come in handy. With pretty swirls of mermaid colors and a perfect dose of pretty sprinkles, these dessert bars will be an instant hit at a themed party. Let's swim right into this recipe!
HOW TO MAKE EASY MERMAID DESSERTS
My favorite go to easy dessert hack usually surrounds a box mix and this one is no different. We're using a basic white cake mix as the base. Mermaid dessert ideas always involve pretty colors usually including purple and teal. The color combo totally makes me swoon every single time.
To turn a box of cake mix into a blondie bar, we're going to simply add some white chocolate chips. See, easy peasy on the scale of things. (See what I did there).
Next, we are going to get our mermaid colors on with teal and purple food coloring.
With a pretty swirl of a knife, the blondie base is pretty much ready to be baked.
Can't get over how swimmingly these colors go together. (Mermaid humor is my new thing, apparently).
Once baked, the final mermaid touches take this sweet mermaid party dessert to the next level. Bring on the icing and pretty mermaid inspired sprinkles.
A little gold helps to make these blondies extra glam if you ask me. Feel free to swap out for hints of silver if that floats your mer-boat instead. This is my absolute favorite part of this recipe, so have fun with it. Add your own unique twist or incorporate matching sprinkles you might already have on hand.
I seriously love how these bars came out. So simple, yet so darn pretty. They are guaranteed to make anyone smile and will sure make a great addition to any mermaid party spread.
