A Brief History on Blonde Brownies:
Founded By: Bertha Palmer, a well-known socialite in Chicago, is associated with a popular tale surrounding the origin of brownies. The blonde variety of brownies, also called blondies, are said to have their roots in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Recipe books from the 1940s have documented various versions of blonde brownies, leading some historians to speculate that they might have existed even before brownies became popular.
A Little Different: Blondies, those scrumptious treats, are rich and gooey bars with a delightful butterscotch taste. Their beautiful golden hue comes from the addition of molasses. These delectable delights have been around since the late 1800s, a good decade before the invention of chocolate brownies in 1905.
A New Beginning for an Alternative to the Brown Variety: In 1896, Fannie Farmer published the first-ever recipe for brownies in her edition of The Boston Cooking-School Cookbook. Interestingly, her recipe didn’t actually have chocolate and resembled what we now know as blondies. Fast forward to 1906, and an updated version of Farmer’s Boston Cookbook finally introduced a recipe for blonde brownies.

Facts about Blonde Brownies:
- The addition of the suffix “ie” to the end of a word is often said to give it a more endearing or cute quality. This is why the name “brownie” was chosen for these delightful treats, as they are brown in color and undeniably adorable. By the way, do you know what’s even cuter than a regular blonde brownie? A mini-blonde-brownie, of course!
- Blondies, on the other hand, are a variation of blonde brownies that do not contain chocolate.
- The exact origin of blonde brownies is still unknown, but some theories suggest that they were created by a chef who made a mistake. It is said that he accidentally added chocolate to a cake mix, resulting in the creation of blonde brownies.
- Fortunately, it turned out to be a happy accident!
- The first officially documented blonde brownies were made in Chicago for a ladies’ fair luncheon in the late 1800s. The chefs for the event were tasked with inventing a new dessert that could be included in the boxed lunches. These blonde brownies were adorned with an apricot glaze and a layer of walnuts.
- The largest blonde brownie ever made weighed a whopping 3000 pounds and was served at the Hudson Valley Chocolate Festival in 2001. It consisted of 850 pounds of sugar, 750 pounds of chocolate chips, 500 pounds of butter, 500 pounds of flour, and 3,500 eggs. If you ever decide to make it, you might want to scale down the recipe a bit!
- Although it doesn’t quite match the weight of the Hudson Valley blonde brownie, the Guinness World Records recognizes the largest blonde brownie as weighing 335.1 pounds. It was made using 210 packs of Betty Crocker blonde brownie mix and all the necessary ingredients.
