Blondie Directions

  • With your mixer blend the butter, sugar, and egg until light and fluffy.

  • Add a teaspoon of neon pink food coloring gel to the strawberry half and neon yellow food coloring gel to the lemon half.
  • Line an 8 X 8 dish with parchment paper and pour the strawberry batter into the dish and spread the batter out. Place the lemon batter on top of the strawberry batter and spread to smooth.

  • Add powdered sugar a little at a time, until all has been added and the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  • Spread frosting on top of the blondies and smooth to make a thick layer of frosting.
  • Allow the frosting to sit for 2 hours to set before serving.
  • Cut blondies in 2 X 3 inch pieces and enjoy!
