Have you had a blondie yet?

This unofficial national holiday recognizes blonde brownies, frequently referred to as blondies.

Blonde brownies are similar to the traditional brownies known to all. In place of cocoa, brown sugar is used, giving it a sweet tooth-satisfying molasses flavor!

Most people like to add white chocolate or chocolate chips to their blonde brownies or other things like nuts, toffee or butterscotch. Blonde brownies are usually prepared unfrosted as the brown sugar flavor tends to be sweet enough. These blondies are sometimes served in sundaes, often topped with caramel sauce.

There is no found documentation of the beginning of national blonde brownie day. It is known however, that this light-colored treat was actually invented in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Recipes for blonde brownies can be found in recipe books dating back into the 1940s and maybe even earlier.
