Valentine Blondies

I’ve always been a huge fan of treats and desserts like brownies and cookie bars. They’re like hand foods but sweet, which can make it a little too easy to have one brownie too many- haha! Best of all is that making these kinds of desserts is so easy. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I figured folks might need an easy Valentine’s dessert or treat to give out. With that in mind, here’s our recipe for Valentine Blondie Bars.

What are blondies? Well, they’re sort of like a “blonde brownie:” made in basically the same way as a brownie, just without any cocoa powder. Instead of chocolate flavors, blondies lean much more on vanilla and caramel flavors. I’m not saying blondies are better than brownies, but they are a fun way to mix things up. If you want, you can even throw in some chocolate chips or M&M’s to make them sort of like a cookie bar!

Ingredients for Blondie Bars

• Butter
• Brown Sugar – We usually use a light brown sugar here.
• Egg
• Vanilla Extract
• Baking Powder
• Baking Soda
• Flour
• Salt

How to make Blondies

1. Prep your wet ingredients and dry mix separately before gradually mixing the two together into a batter.
2. Stir in your chocolate chips and M&M’s before pouring the batter into a lined baking sheet.
3. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove and let cool before removing from the pan and slicing into bars.

Your end product will turn out much better if you prep your wet and dry ingredients separately. In one bowl, whisk together your flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. For the wet ingredients, we’re going to start on the stovetop. Add your butter and sugar to a saucepan and mix them together over medium/medium-low heat. Once they’re mixed together and smooth, cut the heat and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a clean bowl. Mix in your eggs and vanilla.

Start gradually adding and mixing the dry ingredients into the wet mix. Eventually, this will form into a light smooth batter.

When you get here, we recommend adding half of your chips and M&M’s. Stir until spread throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into a lined baking sheet and top with the leftover chocolate chips and M&M’s. Once it’s all ready, transfer into an awaiting 350 degree oven.

It’ll take 25-30 minutes to bake. Pull it at 25 if you’d like your blondie brownies chewier.

Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. Slice into blondie bars and enjoy!
