Storage Tips
These blondies stay fresh and yummy for up to 5 days! Once they’re totally cool, pop them in an airtight container. You can keep them at room temperature, but if your kitchen runs warm, the fridge works great too. Want to save them longer? Cut them into squares, wrap them well, and freeze them for up to 3 months. Just let them thaw on the counter when you’re ready to enjoy!
Mix-In Magic
Love playing with flavors? Your blondies can be a blank canvas! While this recipe uses a tasty mix of chocolate, white chocolate, and butterscotch chips, you can switch things up. Try chopped nuts, M&Ms, crushed Oreos, or toffee bits. Just keep the total amount of mix-ins around 1½ cups so your blondies bake properly. Have fun trying new combinations!
Serving Ideas
Want to take these blondies from great to amazing? Warm them up for about 15 seconds in the microwave – they get extra gooey and the chips get slightly melty! Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and watch it slowly melt into all the nooks and crannies. For a quick dessert party spread, cut them into bite-sized squares and dust with powdered sugar. They’re perfect with coffee or cold milk!
Quick Tips
Don’t overbake these beauties – they’ll keep baking a bit as they cool. When you check with a toothpick, a few moist crumbs are good! That means you’ll have super soft, chewy blondies. Also, letting them cool for the full 20 minutes helps them set up perfectly for cutting. If you’re using parchment paper, leave some hanging over the sides – it makes lifting them out super easy!
