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!!!




Ingredients & Instructions:

1 3/4 Sticks of Butter (Softened)                 
2 C. King Arthur's All Purpose Flour                                  
1 tsp. Baking Powder
3/4 tsp. Salt
2 C. Dark Brown Sugar
2 Large Eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 C. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips or Chunks
3/4 C Heath Bar Pieces
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter and line a 9x12 baking pan with parchment paper.  Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a clean bowl.  In a standing mixer or with a hand mixer, combine butter and brown sugar until well combined and smooth.  Mix in vanilla extract and eggs (one at a time).  Slowly add flour mixing only until combined.  Fold in toffee and chocolate chips.  Bake for 25-30 minutes.  Top will be soft.  Let cool completely and remove using the parchment paper to pull from pan.  Cut into 2 inch squares and eat up!!!
