Trader Joe's Tuesday: Blondie Brownies
Amy Faries • Mar 03, 2020
Golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside. These subtle brownies have bits of chocolate throughout to add a subtle sweetness but are packed of delicious flavor.
Tuesday's are the best
Happy Tuesday Expedition Bakers! This past Thursday I had a minor procedure on my toe and I am on the road to recovery. I will save you all from the disgusting pictures because....well this is a food blog and we don't want that nasty nonsense up in here. I will let you all know that the procedure went amazing and I have one of the best podiatrists around! Even with my needle phobia I still did great (I seriously surprised myself). I made the mistake however of watching the procedure while my doctor was performing it. And ummm needless to say I may have passed out for a couple seconds. It was actually quite funny though because I tried to politely interject during the procedure while my father and doctor were having a conversation. In my defense I simply needed to alert them that I was about to pass out. (Amy: "Umm excuse me. I just want to let you guys know i'm about to pass out). And with that said my eyes immediately closed, my head slouched back and I was gone for a couple of seconds. The doctor held some smelling salts in his hand just in case I needed them, but I decided to pass on that. With all this said, praise God that this procedure went smoothly and I am now on my way to healing. Did everyone else have a lovely week?
Lily came back from her week long trip yesterday, and I can't explain how much I missed this little girl. She was so sweet as soon as she walked in the door. She gave me a great big hug and kiss and said "I mish yew". My heart instantly melted and I really thought I was going to burst out into tears for a second. I have never been apart from her for that long since she was born, and it was much harder for me than I expected. She and Aiden had the best time though and sweet Meg was kind enough to send me pictures throughout their trip. I can't wait to see nug (Aiden) too so we can make slime and cookies together. They are truly 2 of the best kiddos out there and i'm so glad that they enjoyed their vacation.
Blondies have more fun
I'm not saying that perfect things exist but these blondie brownies from Trader Joe's are certainly very close! I have had a couple of blondies before and my favorite has to be these cream cheese blondies that HoneyBaked Ham used to sell when I worked there years ago. They were soft and chewy but had the most delicious tang from the cream cheese. However, these TJ blondies come in a close second. Trader Joe's added some chocolate chips into their batter for an added element of sweetness. What better way to kick off Valentine's baking then with these tasty treats? I tinted the dough with some pink food coloring and added small sprinkles throughout to add just a touch of loveeeee. Remember that with everything baked in Trader Joe's Tuesday you can make it your own. Add things and experiment with making it your own!
Ta ta ta ta ta tasty tasty
Once again Trader Joe's has made an extremely easy recipe to follow! Its literally 1 egg, 1 stick of butter and the dry mix (provided by TJ's). If you want to add a bit of crunch and texture to these blondies TJ's suggest you add any time of nuts whether its walnuts, pistachios or some pecans. Because of some allergy issues with my family I decided to forego this added texture in lieu of some fun sprinkles. Everyone in my family gobbled these blondies up still! They are honestly perfect with a glass of ice cold milk. I even really enjoyed them! The chocolate chips mixed in really made the flavors stand out. It complimented the subtle blondie mix extremely well.
