15 Ultimate Blondie and Brownie Recipes for Your Next Baking Adventure

1. Salted Chocolate Malt Brownies

While salt is often paired with caramel, it also works wonders in bringing out the richness of chocolate. The malted milk powder and crushed malt balls add a delightful malt flavor to these brownies, along with a satisfying crunch.

2. Red Velvet Brownie Torte

Brownies can be elevated to something special, too. Take this delicious layered treat, for example: fudgy brownies tinged with red food coloring, reminiscent of red velvet cakes, and topped with a smooth, indulgent cream cheese frosting.

3. Hazelnut Swirl Blondies

Take this traditional blondie recipe up a notch by incorporating swirls of chocolate-hazelnut spread, adding both depth and a touch of elegance to these treats.

4. Tahini S'mores Blondies

Tahini, typically known for its role in hummus, brings a sweet, nutty note to these blondies. To really capture the essence of s'mores, make sure to load up on graham cracker crumbs, chocolate in the batter, and a gooey toasted marshmallow topping.

5. Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Chunks of peanut butter cups take this decadent brownie recipe to the next level. Out of peanut butter cups? Use any leftover candy bars lying around your house. (These would be amazing with peppermint patties, chopped peanut butter-nougat bars, or toffee.)

6. Chewy Chocolate Brownies

If you're a fan of chewy brownies, this recipe is the ultimate. Chunks of chocolate create gooey pockets of melted goodness throughout every bite.

If you're after brownies that will truly impress, this might be the one for you. Brownie batter, creamy cheesecake, and crumbled Oreo cookies are swirled together to create a treat that satisfies every sweet tooth in your family.

8. Fudgy Brownie Recipe

For those who prefer their brownies extra fudgy, this recipe is for you. (The key to achieving that fudgy texture? Melt the butter before adding it to the batter.)

9. Peanut Blondies

13. Salted Caramel Brownie Bites

Chocolate and caramel are a perfect pair in the world of desserts. This simple treat takes a standard brownie mix up a notch by adding candy to the center, then finishing with a topping of caramel and sprinkles.

14. Chocolate Chip Pecan Blondies
