Baker’s Tips for Perfect Blondies

✅ Use dark brown sugar—it’s key for chewiness
✅ Don’t over-mix once flour is added (keeps texture fudgy, not cakey)
Underbake slightly — blondies firm as they cool
✅ Allow to cool fully before cutting for clean squares
✅ Use mini marshmallows for even toasting (or cut large ones)

Pro tip: For extra gooey campfire vibes, broil marshmallows at the very end until golden (watch closely!)


🍫 Optional Add-In Ideas

Mix into the batter or sprinkle on top:

  • Chopped pecans

  • Toffee bits

  • Crushed graham crackers

  • Cinnamon chips

  • White chocolate chunks

Make-Ahead + Storage

  • Make ahead: Bake, cool, store airtight

  • Room temp: 2–3 days

  • Fridge: up to 1 week

  • Freezer: freeze sliced bars up to 2 months

Warm slightly before serving for the ultimate gooey texture.
