This recipe has great flavour & a lot of potential to be a 5+ star rating. In the 9" pan, the batter was really thick & the edges started to burn before the middle was cooked. It took 55 minutes to cook through. It was also more like cake than blondies. I think using a 13X9 pan would improve the results.
