What’s the Difference Between a Brownie and a Blondie?

The main difference between a brownie and a blondie is the chocolate flavor. Brownies are made with cocoa powder while blondies have a strong vanilla taste.

When you have leftover cookie bars, you can store them at room temperature. You want to make sure they are in an airtight container. You can freeze the leftovers blondies if you will not finish them before they get stale.

  1. Simple recipe. A bit hard to mix and a 9×13 was way too big for the amount of batter this recipe made. I would try going with a smaller pan next time. I also had to bake a few extra minutes. But tasted pretty good! Very pretty and cute idea!
