Food for Thought
A Bar Becomes a Bite
Think of blondies as cousins to brownies. They are flavored with brown sugar and studded with creamy white chocolate chips. Like brownies, blondies are typically made in a baking pan and cut into squares when cool. Baking them in a muffin tin dramatically cuts down the baking and cooling time—so you get blondies extra fast!
How to Melt Butter
Butter can be melted in a small saucepan on the stove (use medium-low heat), but we think the microwave is easier. Here’s how to do it:
Cut butter into 1-tablespoon pieces. Place butter in microwave-safe bowl.
Place bowl in microwave and cover bowl with small plate. Use 50 percent power to heat butter until melted, 30 to 60 seconds (longer if melting a lot of butter). Watch butter and stop microwave as soon as butter has melted. Use oven mitts to remove bowl from microwave.
