- Can I substitute the Dairy Milk chocolate with another type of chocolate?
- Yes, you can substitute Dairy Milk chocolate with any other type of milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or even dark chocolate, depending on your preference. The taste and texture might vary slightly, but it will still be delicious.
- How do I know when the blondies are done baking?
- The blondies are done when the edges are golden brown, and the center is set but still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. Overbaking can lead to dry blondies, so keep an eye on them in the last few minutes of baking.
- Can I add nuts or other mix-ins to the recipe?
- Absolutely! You can add chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for extra crunch. Other mix-ins like white chocolate chips, toffee bits, or dried fruit can also be incorporated. Add about 1/2 to 1 cup of your preferred mix-ins to the batter before baking.
