Blondie Bars with White Chocolate Chips

Blondie bars with white chocolate chips are the golden, buttery cousins of classic brownies. Instead of cocoa, blondies rely on rich brown sugar, real butter, and vanilla to create their signature caramel-like flavor. When studded with creamy white chocolate chips, these bars become irresistibly sweet, chewy, and perfectly balanced in both flavor and texture.

Soft in the center with lightly crisp edges, blondie bars are comforting, nostalgic, and incredibly versatile. They’re easy to bake in one bowl, slice beautifully into neat bars, and are ideal for bake sales, parties, lunchbox treats, or cozy evenings at home. The white chocolate chips melt gently into the batter, adding pockets of creamy sweetness in every bite.
