blondies

Edited to add: I am linking up with Jess’ PinterTest Kitchen over at Keeping Up With The Johnsons today {10.6.11} to share the Cake Batter Blondies. I am cheating a bit and have already posted this and do not have a play by play with fun commentary {next time!} but I wanted to share these because they were such a big hit. And how cute would they be with some Halloween jimmies {or Halloween Funfetti}, orange tinted frosting and some orange and black sprinkles sittin’ on top? And for Christmas….red and green jimmies in the batter with mint green frosting and some fun festive sprinkles atop? Adorbs, right? They are rich so I suggest picking up some cute mini muffin/cupcake liners and cutting them small and nestling them in the papers. The possibilities are endless with these things….Valentine’s Day? Cute. Cute.

Head on over and see what else is {makin’ it} or {fakin’ it} on Pinterest!

I spy with my little eye some cake batter blondies on Pinterest…

I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a blondie in my life, but once I laid eyes on these, I knew that had to change.

Aren’t they fun? Don’t they just scream, “BIRTHDAY”?

I decided to whip up a batch to serve at this weekend’s birthday brunch.

I cut mine into bite-sized pieces and tucked them into mini muffin/cupcake papers. I used a little blue & green food coloring in the glaze to stick with the {theme}.

The recipe made double what you see. I’m going to pop them in the freezer and pull them out the night before the party. I figure I’d get as much prep work done beforehand to cut down on stress the morning of…

I may or may not have sampled a few as I was cutting them. I mean I wouldn’t want to serve something without sampling it first, right?

Now if I could please excuse myself…Jillian is {screaming} my name ~ off to shred I go.

Happy Thursday and Happy September 1st!
