• For thicker blondies, use an 8×8-inch pan and increase the baking time slightly.

• To keep them fresh, store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Consider using different flavored baking chips, like butterscotch or peanut butter, for a unique twist. If you prefer a thicker blondie, you can use an 8x8 inch baking pan but be sure to extend the baking time by a few minutes. Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
