The blondie most certainly does not get enough attention in the dessert world. But these treats are moist, chewy, and chok full of deliciousness. Too often, though, they are overshadowed by their chocolate cousins, brownies.
And brownies are great, they really are. But sometimes we get sick of chocolate, and when that happens we can find refuge in things like blondies. So here you are, a list of blondie recipes that are exponentially better than any brownie.
