Some of these recipes have nuts, caramels, chocolate chips, and chocolate candies, with and without frosting. You can believe they all are fantastically good! You may even decide you like blondies better than brownies.

What are blondies?

Blondies have some of the same characteristics as brownies. They are dense, moist dessert bars. They are both made with flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. However, blondies do not contain cocoa. Brownies do. Blondies are ‘vanilla’ based and have brown sugar instead of cocoa. When cooked brown sugar gives them an almost butterscotch or caramel flavor not a chocolate flavor like brownies.

Blondies come in as many different variations as brownies. They have chips, nuts, and frosting. You’ll enjoy these no-bake Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Blondies

Blondies are also easy to make, require few ingredients, and can be made in one pan and without a mixer.
