Birthday Blondies

During my somewhat limited time venturing into the kitchen, I found a recipe that my boyfriend instantly fell in love with. 

Blondies (Thanks Food Network!)

He is a big fan of sweet items (one present I bought him that was a big hit was cane sugar candies), so I knew that these would go over well. 

And so, for his birthday, in lieu of a birthday cake, he was the overjoyed recipient of birthday blondies. Unrelated to his enjoyment of the baked goods, don't they have a nice ring? I'm a fan of alliteration. 

The optional add-in that I went with was the chocolate chips (I have also made these plain and with red and green M&M's for the holidays). 

Sorry I don't have any pictures while in production, but here are the finished birthday blondies...

Awww, I'm so clever.
I chose to deliver them whole, to have a more "birthday cake" -like presentation (plus then I was also able to accent with the chocolate chip heart). 

Well, they do say that food is the way to a man's heart... these blondies are definitely on the way to my guy's :)

I love your blog! These blondies look great---I can't wait to try them for a party we are having---have you ever frozen them? I was wondering if they freeze well so I could do them ahead of time. Thanks for the recipes!

Thanks Lauren!!! I've found that these blondies freeze fabulously, perfect for making ahead of time (I personally always try to bake ahead of time as well -- especially good if an unexpected kitchen calamity pops up haha).

Enjoy!!! (I'm sure your guests will as well!) :)
