Hey kids!
So last night was super nice. We made a yummy dinner annnnd dessert, which I MUST share with you! It was a knock off of the Applebees Maple Butter Blondie! You know that ridiculous thing that comes in a sizzling skillet...in a pool of maple-y, butter-y, vanilla-y goodness? Yes! That one! Well I found the recipe on Pinterest, of course. It was suuuper yummy. Yes over the top, yes semi crazy, but oh my goodness gracious, it was so deeelish! And it makes a ton! Enough for a dinner party or pot luck. We loved it, and so did my brothers! Here is the recipe:
