The difference between brownies and blondies is mainly the color and one ingredient, which is chocolate. Chocolate is used in a melted format in the brownie recipes, while white chocolate chips are added to the blondie recipe without melting it.
While brownies have a super deep and delicious chocolate flavor, blondies are famous for their molasses butterscotch flavor. One might even call blondies butterscotch brownies!
