Extra Chocolatey: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the batter for a more intense chocolate flavor.

storage/reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days. These blondies can also be frozen for up to 2 months—wrap individually and store in a freezer-safe container.

To reheat, microwave a single square for 10–15 seconds for a warm, gooey texture. If frozen, allow to thaw at room temperature before reheating.

FAQs

What makes these blondies different from regular brownies?

Unlike classic chocolate brownies, blondies are made without cocoa powder and have a rich, buttery vanilla base. This recipe adds three types of chocolate for a unique twist.

Can I use regular milk instead of non-dairy milk?

Yes, regular milk can be used as a 1:1 substitute if dairy is not a concern.

Is it necessary to use all three kinds of chocolate?

Not at all. You can use only chocolate chips or chunks if you prefer, but using all three adds depth of flavor and texture.

Can I skip the fruit and nuts on top?

Yes, the toppings are optional. The blondies are delicious on their own but are enhanced by the garnishes.

How do I know when the blondies are done baking?

The edges will look set and slightly golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, double the ingredients and bake in a 9×13-inch pan. Adjust baking time to 28–32 minutes and monitor for doneness.

Are these suitable for kids?

Absolutely. The natural sweetness and fun toppings make them a hit with children, but you may want to omit whole nuts for younger kids.

Can I make these without sugar?

You can try substituting the sugar with additional maple syrup or a sugar substitute, though the texture may be slightly different.

What type of chocolate is best for chunks?

Use high-quality dark chocolate (around 70% cacao) for a nice balance of richness and sweetness.

Can I make these in advance?

Yes, they can be made a day ahead. Store covered at room temperature or refrigerate if topping with fresh berries.

Conclusion

These Triple Chocolate Chip Blondie Brownies are a delectable treat that balances rich chocolate with nutty undertones and bursts of freshness from the berries. Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply want to elevate your dessert game, this recipe delivers both elegance and indulgence in every bite.
