Blondes do have more fun :)


I have been on a big baking kick lately. Already this week I have made chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon coffee cake. I was trying to think of something new I could make so I decided to go with the traditionalblondie. I made a peanut butter blondie once and it was good, but I wanted a plain one. I added chocolate chips and funny enough it tasted a lot like a giant chocolate chip cookies. It was just a bit gooey-er inside. The texture was a lot like a brownie. All in all I am pleased! Of course I served them a la mode with some chocolate sauce :)

  1. I will confess - I've made blondies twice in the last two weeks - they're addictive! Great pic btw, I didn't even think to top them with ice cream - you be the DEVIL woman! :)~
