Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until set and golden brown. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 1 hour. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.

For a special gift from the kitchen, lift uncut bars out of pan, cut in half and give each half as a mega blondie. Line the pan with foil to make it easy to lift the bars out of the pan.
