Blondie Brownies

chewy blondie bars ~

These Chewy Blondie Bars should come with a warning ~ they are irresistible! This is my Grandmother Geneva’s recipe. She was always baking things ~ and I shared her cold oven pound cake here. These Chewy Blondie Bars were always a favorite at the lake when we were growing up, and now they’re an anytime tailgate favorite. 🙂

Bluwatermom made them recently for her book group, and that prompted me to make them at my house. Every bite is a memory for me. I’m trying out the new recipe card plug-in here on the blog ~ hope you like it ~ and I hope you give these a try. There are plenty of tailgates and outings yet to go this season. These are a great take-along!

Here are a few other photos to go along with the recipe. 

These mix up by hand in just a few minutes. Cream the brown sugar and softened butter. Add the eggs and flour, alternating ~ egg, flour, egg, flour, egg ~ mixing after each addition. Then add the vanilla and nuts, and stir just to combine.

Pour into a greased 9″x13″ baking pan. I bake these in my enameled, cast iron baker.

Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven, for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. The center will still be very soft, but a tooth pick or cake tester should come away clean. Yes, you can even see the holes  where I tested mine in the center! 🙂

Allow to cool in the pan. I run an off-set spatula around the edges after it cools a bit just to loosen. After it cools completely, you can slice in the pan, or invert and remove onto a cutting board to slip into squares.  The hardest part is deciding whether to sample an edge, corner or center slice!

And just in case you need a chocolate fix, here are a couple of other brownie bar recipes ~ Rocky Road Brownies and Awesome Tailgate Brownies. These are all perfect for any take-along event! Enjoy ~~~
