Blondy's Blondies

Brownies?  Are you kidding me?  Blondies are the way to go.  Blondies have more fun after all.  Just as wonderfully rich and sweet as a brownie, but with that beautiful brown sugary blonde color plus, the added perk of being completely versatile!!! 

Granted, brownies have the capability of being versatile as well, but most of the time when you offer someone a brownie, they expect a brownie, no bells or whistles.  Some folks may prefer their brownies more cake-like while other folks prefer the fudgy brownie. Some may even expect a nut or two, but other than that, a brownie is just that, a brownie. 

Please don’t get me wrong, because I love a brownies, but let’s not get away from my main point which is BLONDIES!!!!!!

I have made Blondies with many different fun fillings, and honestly have never had a bad batch.  I’ve used peanut butter chips, almonds, chocolate chips, a variety of candy bars, pecans, you name it, but I think I have pretty much settled on the below recipe which contains chocolate chunks and toffee bars.  It’s pretty freaking amazing!!!

I call these, Blondy’s Blondies.  Laugh if you must, but I am a cheeseball and proud of it!!!
