This tasted good, everyone loved it! But I have had the Blondie brownie from Applebees, too many times to count. And this is too cake like.

Sorry, I wasn't a fan. I prefer the other online copycat recipes for this one. The blondie was too cakey in this recipe, and the cream cheese made the sauce taste funny.
