WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLONDIES AND WHITE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES?
Most of us have gone through life contently thinking that Blondies were just a White Chocolate Brownie. Well today I’m going to blow your mind because guess what? What makes Blondies “Blonde” isn’t white chocolate at all.
What is a Blondie then? A blondie is a dessert bar just like a brownie but the melted chocolate and cocoa are replaced with vanilla and brown sugar. You can of course add white chocolate chips to the mixture but this will just make it a “White Chocolate Blondie”
What is a White Chocolate Brownie? They are exactly the same as a classic chocolate brownie but use White Chocolate instead of dark chocolate. They keep the same fudgy texture, they have the same classic shiny top and they taste unbelievably good!
Are they not too sweet? White Chocolate is distinctly sweeter than dark or milk chocolate given the higher sugar content and lower cocoa content so yes these will be sweeter. However when stuffed with milk or dark chocolate treats you get a really delicious balance of flavour.
