Ida's Chocolate Nut Blondies


While in Austin, there was no shortage of delicious sweets. Brad's sister Amy baked these chocolate nut blondies, and we couldn't keep our hands off of them!

Chocolate Nut bars (Ida's Recipe)


2/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3 eggs
1 6 oz package chocolate bits
1 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 c all purpose flour, sifted
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c chopped nuts

Combine butter/margarine and sugar. Cream thoroughly. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Sift together dry ingredients. Gradually add to the butter/sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add nuts and chocolate bits. Blend thoroughly. Spread evenly over well oiled 10 1/2 x 15 1/2 x 3/4 inch pan. Bake 350 degrees 25-30 minutes. When almost cool, cut in squares. Yield: about 4 dozen 3 x 1 inch bars.
