Chewy Chocolaty Gingerbread Blondies
Dark, chewy and flavourful. That’s how we like our brownies and these gingerbread blond brownies fit that category perfectly. They’re loaded with warming spices, molasses and just enough chocolate chips to add a little gooeyness. Think of these as brownies with personality.

These are so easy to make and so yummy. Just the right balance of chewy on the outside and soft inside and I think that I like them better than brownies. Great flavour and a new hit in my household.
