- To Freeze: Extra blondies can be kept in the freezer for 2-3 months. It is best to store them in wrapped individual servings.
Tips and Variations
- Easter Candy - Can't find chocolate eggs or don't like them? Swap them out with M&Ms or chocolate chips.
- Bake Time - Blondies can overcook quickly in the oven. Keep them in the oven until golden and start to pull slightly from the edge of the pan.
- Mix-ins - You can add other mix-ins to the batter if you want something more than chocolate. Add dried fruit, nuts, or white chocolate chips to up the flavor.
