Brown Butter Blondies

We had guests over during the Winter Olympics. I had no idea of their eating habits, but had planned many of the meals in advance. We rarely have desserts on a day-to-day basis, so when we do have guests, it’s a real treat - blondies were on the menu.

Blondies are one of those things I never heard of until I moved to the US. Brownies yes, but blondies no. Blondies are apparently like brownies, but without the chocolate – I say, what’s the fun in that?

Squidgy Bite-Sized Chocolate Brownies

I wanted to make some bite-sized brownies to go into J’s lunch bag, so today I made some using an old, tried and tested recipe. There’s nothing healthy about these brownies, other than having some dark chocolate in them. However, I assume that the addition of tons of butter and sugar, takes away that “health benefit”!

When I baked these chocolate babies, a couple got stuck in the pan. I ended up tasting them… you can guess the rest. They are totally addictive. These bite-sized brownies have a slight crisp crust on the top and the interior is a squidgy, fudgy chocolate cake. Any remaining brownies left disappeared when J got home. Suffice to say, no brownies ever managed to find their way into his lunch bag.
