How to Make Blondies: Easy Recipe for Baking Blonde Brownies

Brownies have been tempting us to abandon our diets for generations now. The classic chocolate brownie, sometimes referred to as a Boston brownie, is a small chocolate cake slice, generally very rich in flavor and sometimes covered with fudge or icing. Some recipes call for chocolate chips or nuts, such as walnuts or almonds. Legend has it that the brownie was born when a careless cook forgot the baking powder in the batter for a chocolate cake, while other stories credit the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago with its invention. Several different brownie recipes and flavors are popular today, from the pre-mixed box variety to specialty gourmet bakery conceived desserts with rare and decadent ingredients.
