Q: 1. What’s the Difference Between Brownies and Blondies?

Brownies are chocolate-based bars, usually made with cocoa powder or melted chocolate, giving them a rich, dark flavor. They range from fudgy to cakey, depending on the recipe. Blondies are similar in texture but have a more buttery, caramel-like flavor because they use brown sugar instead of cocoa powder. They can be thought of as a "vanilla" version of brownies.

2. How Do I Make My Brownies More Fudgy?

Accepted Answer

For fudgy brownies, use more butter and less flour. Adding melted chocolate, rather than just cocoa powder, also makes them richer. Avoid overbaking; take them out when they are slightly underdone in the center.

3. Can I Use Cocoa Powder Instead of Melted Chocolate in Brownies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it will change the texture and flavor. Cocoa powder gives a more intense chocolate flavor but can lead to a drier, cakier texture. Melted chocolate makes brownies fudgier and richer.

4. Why Did My Blondies Come Out Dry?

Accepted Answer

Overbaking is the most common cause of dry blondies. Make sure to check them a few minutes before the recommended baking time, and take them out when the edges are set, but the center is still slightly soft. The blondies will continue to cook as they cool.
