National Blonde Brownie Day - January 22nd

Yes, January 22^nd is National Blonde Brownie Day. How do we celebrate? Well, we bake and eat blonde brownies, of course. And, if you can't bake, then you must acquire them by purchasing or having someone else bake them for you.

A blonde brownie, also known as a blondie, is different from the traditional brownie. Traditional brownies are made with chocolate and blonde brownies are made with light brown sugar.
