Because, a few years ago when I heard that Brownies went blonde, I freaked out! In a good way. I felt that there was a justification for my fake hair color: if a Brownie can go Blondie, well, then so can I.

Now that I’ve confessed about my bottled hair, let me get one other thing off my chest … I like Blondies more than Brownies!

These babies are chewy, sweet, and versatile. You can add anything to them, and they will still taste great. I happen to like this combination of caramel and white chocolate because I just really like caramel and chocolate. I know that white chocolate is not chocolate, but whatever. I like it.

Feel free to add or substitute chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, nuts, dried fruits… anything goes.
