More substantial than a chocolate chip cookie, and decidedly more savory than their cocoa-infused successor, the brownie, blondies have carved out a niche all their own in the pantheon of handheld baked goods. And in the pantheon of Trader Joe’s baking mixes, we’ve carved out a niche for blondies in the form of Trader Joe’s Blondie Bar Baking Mix, to take you from dreaming of these tantalizing treats to eating them in just under 40 minutes. Picture this: a marvelously convenient Mix, including baking basics (namely, unbleached wheat flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda) punctuated with semisweet chocolate chips and the masterful addition of molasses powder. Combined with an egg and a stick of melted butter, the resulting Bars bake up crisp on top with a delightfully chewy center, replete with notes of butterscotch and vanilla. Enjoy them alone, alongside an ice-cold glass of milk, or as the base of a luxuriously layered Peanut Butter & Banana Blondie Bar (see traderjoes.com for the recipe!). One way or another, you’re sure to experience dessert rapture in every Blondie Bar bite.
