What Is A Blondie?
Blondies are the opposite of a brownie. They have the same chewy, fudge texture, minus the cocoa. Brownies are chocolate based, while blondies are vanilla based. Technically - both brownies and blondies are considered cookie bars - softer than a cookie, but firmer than a cake. Both blondies and brownies are made with flour, sugar, butter and eggs. But, blondies usually have the addition of candy or nuts. Here we are using the best of both worlds - Peanut M&Ms! Milk chocolate, a candy shell, and roasted peanuts are the perfect touch to this chewy blondies recipe.

How Do You Cut Blondies?
