Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To remove bars from pan for easy cutting, line baking dish with parchment paper with overhanging sides.
  • tip 2
    For even more tropical flavor, mix 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts and 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut into the blondie crust before baking.
