  1. In the early to mid 1070's, chocolate chip cookies in a pan became a popular snack. It was never just a cookie baked in a bar form. Blondie was a band.. In the 1980's chocolate bar cookies declined , partly because of economic reasons. The blondie emerged some years later, with a lower chocolate content than the earlier bar cookies.. There had also been butterscotch brownies, but I don't remember them being that common. "Blondie" was a good marketing device. At least, this is what I remember

  2. Milk Chocolate is best when you are a kid: like Dan. When his tastes "mature" he will learn that dark chocolate is the best chocolate except when added to blondies which are better with milk chocolate.

  3. I adore Dan. My husband always walks in when I'm watching ATK and he's cooking and says, "Oh, sorry to interrupt time with your boyfriend." We both giggle but there's definitely some desire on my side for truth there! Lol
