they are just wonderful. couldn't wait and ate the first one while still warm. the splenda worked perfectly, thanks alix

 

[Alix]

My pleasure! I'm glad you liked them babetoo.

 

[Kayelle]

WOW Alix......

I hardly ever bake because nothing turns out the way I like. These Blondies are a home run!! I added a pinch of salt, and chopped walnuts. They are not gooey (hate that), but just nice and moist. I love reports on my recipes, so thought you would too. Thanks so much Alix!!

Hey Alix, I should make these tonight to go with the brownies I was "forced" to make last night! Seriously, this looks good!

 

[Alix]

Kayelle, I'm glad you liked them! I don't like them gooey either. I never add salt because I use salted butter so I'm covered there.

LPBeier, heh heh heh! Better wait til the brownies are gone or you will risk a sugar coma!

Got some of these in the oven right now. I put a shot of maple in them. I'll let you know how they taste.

Oh geeze, there ya go Alix, now I have to make more to try the maple! I love maple! Hey, have you ever tried frosting them? I bet a maple frosting would be to die for!!

 

[Alix]

OH MY GOSH! The maple flavor is to DIE for!!!!

Maple frosting? Hmmmm...these don't usually last long enough to frost, but I bet that would be amazing. Got a recipe? Or just butter icing with maple flavoring?

 

[Kayelle]

So Alix, did you use maple extract or maple syrup to the recipe, and how much? Did you eliminate the Vanilla? I think I'll do a simple butter frosting with some real maple syrup I've been hoarding, then again, maybe extract would be better? As you can tell, I'm no baker.

 

[Alix]

I did maple extract (Watkins) and used it instead of vanilla. I splooshed, so I'd guess about 2 tsps worth?

And I think I'd stick with the maple extract as its condensed. You'd have to adjust your sugar amounts if you used maple syrup I think.

 

[Kayelle]

okie dokie Alix and thanks. I'm doing this tomorrow for sure.

 

[Alix]

And in case anyone is wondering, these are lovely with a cup of tea. Or coffee...for breakfast. LOL!!
