Blondies – This is the BEST blondie recipe ever! Thick and chewy bars with a rich caramelized flavor. Easy to customize with your favorite mix-ins.

Blondies

Have you ever had a blondie before? If you haven’t, let me introduce you to your new favorite dessert! Blondies are like a brownie if there was no cocoa powder or chocolate in it but don’t worry, they are every bit as delicious. Instead of the chocolate flavor that you expect in a brownie, a blondie was a rich, almost caramel like flavor from using dark brown sugar in it. It is absolutely AMAZING.

Blondies are also really easy to customize by using various mix-ins like dried berries (cranberries or cherries are a great choice), baking chips (like chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, etc), or even wilder mix-ins like Oreos. The possibilities are endless! I suggest using about 1/2 of a cup of your favorite mix-ins in the recipe. Additionally, don’t use wet ingredients such as fresh fruit. Those can add too much moisture and make the blondies not bake correctly.
