Fall Brownie and Blondie Recipes FAQs
Brownies are made with cocoa powder or melted chocolate, giving them a rich chocolate flavor, while blondies are made with brown sugar and vanilla, resulting in a buttery, caramel-like taste.
Avoid overbaking them. Brownies are best when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs rather than completely clean.
Dry blondies are usually the result of overbaking or adding too much flour. Measure your flour carefully and remove it from the oven as soon as it's set.
Popular additions include chocolate chips, pecans, walnuts, toffee bits, peanut butter chips, caramel pieces, marshmallows, and seasonal candies.
Most brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. Brownies with cream cheese, cheesecake, or other dairy-based toppings should be refrigerated.
They're delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, fresh berries, or a hot cup of coffee or cider.
