I’ve been on a blondie kick lately. I made a batch of blueberry blondies a few weeks ago with frozen blueberries that were on their last legs. (Blueberry blondies not yet posted because I wasn’t happy with the photos, so I need to re-make and take more pictures.) I also had a strawberry jam reaching expiration, and wasn’t planning to make PB&Js anytime soon, especially since I’ve enjoyed hot breakfast and lunch while working from home. I toyed between swirling the jam on top and putting it in the middle. I opted for the middle because I thought the sugars might burn on top because these blondies do take a long time to cook in an 8×8 pan.

If you love blondies, you might also want to check out these Charleston Chews. Also known as chewies, pecan chewies, and Charleston chewies, they are a childhood favorite. They’re very blondie-like, but with way more brown sugar deliciousness. The strawberry jam blondies are heavier on the brown sugar than a lot of other blondies, and I guess that’s just what I like!
