No-Cocoa Blonde Brownie Squares

Submitted by alligirl

"Golden brownies with pure brown sugar, butter and vanilla for a caramelesque, butterscotchy flavor. A super treat to tuck into lunch bags. Taken from the verybestbaking.com website. *Note: The recipe states 36 brownies, however, my yield was 48. These are really good! Also, for ease of removal, I lined my jelly roll pan with wax paper, and sprayed with Pam.*"

Fabulous recipe ! These cooked well and had a marvellous chewie texture. As I had no choc chips I folded tiny diced dried apricots into batter and we all loved it. Shows great versatility and I cannot wait to do these again !

These were sooooooooo good! Very, very yummy with a great caramel and chocolate taste! The texture is soft and cake-like, which is exactly the way we like our brownies. YUM!<br/>I made half the recipe, reduced the butter a tad and the sugar quite considerably to 2tbs. That worked out well and the brownies were still super sweet due to the chocolate.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this indulgent treat with us, alli!<br/>Made and reviewed for WTTM Tag April 2011.

I also cut these into 48 servings. They were really good, but not brownie like in my opinion. They reminded me of a big soft chocolate chip cookie. I used the full bag of chips and might cut back a bit next time. Thanks for sharing Alligirl!
