Gluten Free Blondies

by Kait Nolan
I love blondies. They`re one oI those things I never make because, Irankly, I don`t bake. It`s not
because I CAN`T bake sweets. I can. But they are not exactly part oI a healthy, balanced diet
because, well, they`re crack and I can`t eat just one. But these were Ior a Halloween party, so I
had people to share them with. I haven`t done much in the way oI sweets that are gluten Iree, so
these were an experiment. I adapted the classic Blondie recipe Irom the Better Homes and
Gardens Cookbook. According to them this makes 36 bars. Um, yeah, iI they say so. More like
