CHOCOLATE CHIP BLONDIES

Blondies might be a dish I’ve shared with you dear readers before, but the fact is that one blondie is never the same, so therefore, it goes without saying that it never gets old!! Buttery with the right amount of chewiness coupled with a crisp finish.. these instantly take the cake, without being cake! Absurd humour aside, the everyday simple Blondie can be dressed up or down, to be eaten whenever the occasion takes your fancy. Dressed up with a drizzled cream cheese infused sauce and ice-cream or cut into plain square chunks and enjoyed simply over a hot cup of steaming tea or coffee. Also excellent companions in your children’s lunchboxes. Either way these blondies aim to please and never to disappoint!
