2. What are Blondies?

Before diving into the recipe, let’s clarify what exactly blondies are. Often referred to as brownies’ vanilla-flavored cousins, blondies are dense, chewy baked bars. Unlike brownies, which get their rich color and flavor from chocolate or cocoa, blondies rely on brown sugar and vanilla to deliver a sweet, slightly molasses-like flavor profile. The addition of chocolate chunks elevates the classic blondie, making it a truly irresistible treat. Our chocolate chunk blondies recipe captures this essence perfectly, offering a delightful twist on a classic favorite. Consider trying our Easter sugar cookies for another festive treat!

3. Why This Recipe Works

This blondie recipe stands out because it’s incredibly easy to follow and yields consistently delicious results. The key is the melted butter and brown sugar base, which creates a wonderfully chewy texture. By using a specific ratio of ingredients, we ensure that the blondies are neither too cakey nor too fudgy but perfectly balanced.

Moreover, the abundance of chocolate chunks in these chocolate blondies ensures that every bite is a burst of chocolatey goodness. These easy blondies are truly foolproof, making them a go-to dessert for any occasion.

4. Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups chocolate chunks (milk, dark, or a combination)

5. Equipment Needed

• 9×13 inch baking pan
• Mixing bowls
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Whisk
• Rubber spatula
• Parchment paper (optional, for easy removal)

6. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined. This mixture forms the foundation of your chocolate chunk blondies, giving them their signature chewy texture. If you’re in the mood for something different but equally satisfying, why not try these slow cooked Easter lamb?

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Ensuring the wet ingredients are thoroughly incorporated is crucial for achieving the perfect consistency in your blondie recipe. For a lighter snack, consider whipping up some Black Panthers vibranium energy bites.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough blondies. Fold in the chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. This is what transforms a simple blondie recipe into irresistible chocolate blondies. Looking for an appetizer to serve before dessert?

Step 4: Bake the Blondies

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy your delicious, homemade ultimate chocolate chunk blondies! If you’re planning a summer BBQ, consider pairing these blondies with our bold garlic butter grilled shrimp for a sweet and savory contrast.

7. Tips for Perfect Blondies

• Use room temperature eggs for better emulsion and a smoother batter.
• Don’t overmix the batter; mix until just combined to avoid tough blondies.
• Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
• Let the blondies cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
• Experiment with different types of chocolate chunks, such as white chocolate or peanut butter chips, for a unique twist. Or, for a fun and festive treat, try our Easter Peeps S’mores dip!

8. Variations

• Nutty Blondies: Add ½ cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the batter.
• Salted Caramel Blondies: Drizzle caramel sauce over the batter before baking and sprinkle with sea salt. These are absolutely divine!
