Blonde Brownie Day

What’s A Blonde Brownie Anyway?

Today is National Blonde Brownie Day. If you are anything like me you didn’t know that such a think existed. Have no fear! I’m here to lay out the facts.

After I Googled the difference I found out that a blonde brownie is no different than a regular brownie with the exception of the sugar. A blonde brownie uses brown sugar instead of cocoa, which gives off a taste that’s reminiscent of butterscotch. Huh. Who knew?

I always thought a brownie was a brownie with just different ingredients. You know, brownie with walnuts or brownie with frosting. To my surprise, I found out there were more of these brownie names. Like Brookies. A Brookie is where the cookie dough is baked on top of brownie batter and are taken to a new extreme with the introduction of a praline layer. Yep!

Search the world wide web and you’ll find buckeye brownies, cream cheese brownies, boyfriend brownies, S’more Brownies, yes the possibilities are endless.

It was hard to find a recipe for blonde brownies that had over four stars with enough people who rated them. I finally discovered one at Genius Kitchen that was off to a great start. I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s on my to-do list!

Hope you enjoy!
