Notes
•Store your blondies in an airtight container. They should last for up to 5 days if you don't eat them all first.
•Blondies freeze really well. Once they are cooked wrap them up in cling film or pop in an airtight container and store them for up to 3 months. Leave them at room temperature to defrost when you're ready to enjoy then. You can also pop them into a medium warm oven to warm them up.
•What can I add into the blondies? Well there are so many things you can mix into them. I would suggest your favourite chocolate chips, dried fruits, nuts or even your favourite candy bar.
