Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in these blondies, so don't skimp on the quality. Look for a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dry blondies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the blondies until they are just set. Overbaking the blondies will make them dry. Insert a toothpick into the center of the blondies; if it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, they are done.
  • Let the blondies cool completely before cutting them. Cutting the blondies while they are still warm will cause them to crumble.
  • Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the blondies for up to 2 months.
