#60 - Bourbon Blondies

We explained how we made bacon-bourbon brownies for Mikey's birthday due to his love for bacon and bourbon. The only problem is, Mikey's not a big fan of brownies, and he usually prefers blondies. We found a solution for that.

From Smitten Kitchen
For a more appropriate birthday dessert, we made Mikey bourbon blondies. There's nothing in these ingredients he can find offensive - sugar, vanilla, butter, bourbon.
And this couldn't be easier. It's just mix, mix, mix, and bake.
Again, the verdict's still out on this one. Some people preferred the bacon brownies; others wanted seconds of these.

You could definitely taste the bourbon more in these blondies than in the brownies, and while it's hard to make the perfect brownie, so few people ever eat blondies, these are definitely gonna be one of the best you've had.
