To prepare icing, whisk powdered sugar and cream until smooth. Drizzle over warm bars.
Time for the honey roasted peanuts!
What Is The Difference of a Blondie and Brownie?
Blondies and brownies have a few things in common. Both have eggs, flour, sugar and butter in their list of ingredients. They also both have a fudgy texture and are generally cut into bars.
They can can have “add ins” to the ingredients list, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, candies etc.
The whole texture of blondies and brownies falls somewhere in between a cookie and a cake.
The color Differences
When you look at a tray of the two bars, blondies are lighter in color than brownies.
….and the colorful candy corn pieces.
Transfer to your baking dish.
Top with another layer of candy corn then bake for 28-30 minutes.
Cut into squares and drizzle with my sweet icing! Nom Nom Nom 🙂
