Blonde Brownies | Chocolate Chip Blondies

Blondies are similar to traditional brownies, but are based on brown sugar instead of cocoa. Blondies may have white or dark chocolate chips and nuts like walnuts and pecans. Blondies are not usually frosted because the brown sugar lends enough sweetness. Blondies are sometimes served in sundaes, often topped with caramel sauce.  

This month, Sharanya of Just Not The Cakes is the host for Home Bakers Challenge, a baking group started by Priya of Priya’s Versatile Recipes. The theme for this month is American Food Holidays. One of the holidays was National Blondie Brownie Day which falls on January 22nd. Am glad I chose these blondies as they turned out soft and delicious, and it was a perfect treat for this Valentines. Recipe adapted from here.
