If you’ve yet to notice….we like booze in our baking. I feel it just adds a little something. Not necessarily a boozy kick mind you, but the amazing flavor of a good liquor can do wonders for your baking. Don’t be afraid to try a little booze because the actual alcohol bakes off when you pop your treat in the oven. This makes your baked goods safe for everyone to enjoy!
I rarely make blondies…I mean what’s the point of a brownie without chocolate? Is there a point in a brownie without chocolate? I mean I guess there can be…if you jazz it up with booze! I also wanted something to try with my homemade vanilla. About 6 months ago, I filled a quart mason jar with some nice vodka and about a dozen Nielsen-Massey vanilla beans. I’ve been faithfully shaking it every week for 6 MONTHS. That’s a really long time to wait. Like an eon. But its finally done!
I cracked that jar open and my oh my does it smell amazing! No vodka smell, just vanilla. Yummy,yummy vanilla. I love vanilla it makes everything taste so much better.
So on to the blondies. I searched high and low for a recipe. I finally found one on the smitten kitchen that looked good. This is the version I went with…I hope y’all like it. Once Susie suggested Boozy Bimbo Blondies…we really couldn’t have named them anything else!
