HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHUNK BLONDIES:

- In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt, set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until combined with no dry patches. Add the chocolate chunks and stir them in.

- Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Using the parchment paper to help, lift out the blondies and cut them into bars, and serve.
DO I HAVE TO USE CHOCOLATE CHUNKS?
While we personally love to use chocolate chunks for this recipe because they are larger you can absolutely use chocolate chips.
You can use any chocolate chips that you like, semi-sweet, milk, or dark. They should work just fine, you will just have a little less chocolate throughout the blondies.
CAN I HALVE THIS RECIPE?
Absolutely yes! If you don’t want a large pan of blondies you can easily cut this back and make it in either an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan.
We realize that not everyone wants a large pan of a dessert so this recipe is super easy to cut in half for sure!
HOW TO STORE:
These can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature where they will last for up to 5 days.
They can also be frozen, place cooled bars in a freezer container and they will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To defrost, remove to the countertop or refrigerator overnight until thawed.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Swap out chocolate chips for the chocolate chunks.
- You can use your favorite chocolate flavor for these.
- Add in some other additions like chopped nuts, candy pieces, etc.
- These can be frozen, see my tips above.
- Easily halve this recipe.
