Contrary to popular belief, blondies are not simply white chocolate brownies. They have a very different flavour and texture. Whereas brownies are all about rich, chocolatey-ness, blondies are all about creating a deep caramelised (almost toffee-ish) flavour courtesy of the brown sugar. They do have white chocolate in it, but they aren’t the star of the show (like dark chocolate often is in brownies).
