Today, January 22, 2014 is National Blond Brownie Day. A Blond Brownie (Blondie) is a rich, sweet dessert bar. It is made from flour, brown sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder, and vanilla, and may also contain walnuts or pecans. Blondies resemble the traditional chocolate brownie, but are based on brown sugar instead of cocoa. They are baked in a pan in the oven similar to how traditional brownies are baked, then cut into rectangular shapes for serving.
