I liked the flavour and how easy it is to make. I would probably try making it into mini-muffins next time. It doesn't have the texture I expected for blondies, but good for what it is. Thanks I'm adding it to my "keep list".

Made this today, and most of it was gone quickly when I took it into work. Quick to mix up, nice texture, and I didn't have any issues with the toppings. I did pat them in, as directed in the recipe, and that kept it all together. Nice flavor, moist and quick to mix up.

These tasted good, but were Very Cake-y; not how I like my bar cookies. The picture shows a flatter bar cookie, but mine were VERY puffy. Also, did not like the way the toppings did not stay on; think if I make something like this again, all of it will be mixed in. These were also hard to cut because of the cake-like texture. Guess I'll keep searching for a good blondie recipe.
