Facts about the Blondie
A blondie (also known as a "blond[e] brownie" or "blondie bar" is a rich,
sweet dessert bar. It is made from flour, brown sugar, butter, eggs, baking
powder, and vanilla, and may also contain walnuts or pecans. Chocolate
chip blondies may contain white or dark chocolate chips. A blondie may
have a taste reminiscent of butterscotch.
Blondies resemble the traditional chocolate brownie, but are based on
brown sugar instead of cocoa; they are sometimes referred to as blonde
brownies. They are baked in a pan in the oven similar to how traditional
brownies are baked, then cut into rectangular shapes for serving.
Blondies are often confused with white chocolate brownies, although they
are highly different, as unlike the white chocolate brownie or the normal
brownie, they contain no chocolate or chocolate flavouring, not inclusive of
chocolate chips, which are often put in blondies.
Like brownies, blondies may include chocolate chips. They may also contain
coconut, nuts, toffee, or any other chunky candy for added texture. Blondies
aren't usually frosted; the brown sugar flavor tends to be sweet enough.
Another popular variation is the Congo bar, which contains chocolate chips with either walnuts or coconut.
Blondies are sometimes served in sundaes, often topped with caramel sauce.
