So I think I made the biggest mistake you can make in baking...improvising. I found a recipe for cookie dough blondies. They were screaming Kristen's name! I looked through and thought I had all of the ingredients to make it work. The first ingredient was a box of yellow or white cake mix. Well I didn't have yellow or white but I had french vanilla...that should work, right?? WRONG! I started making the bars as instructed and the "dough" was a crumbly dust. Not the kind that that turns into a delicious crust but the kind that blows away in the wind. So I thought to myself "this must be because I used french vanilla cake mix. Maybe if I add another egg to moisten it up a little bit it will be ok!" So I did. This was either going to work or turn into a cookie dough quiche.
Looks pretty good, right? So the bottom turned out OK (looking) but then after cooking I had to add to add a topping. The top was going fine until I realized we did not have any more chocolate chips for melting and pouring over top. Well...I had white chocolate chips? Maybe that could work? False! White chocolate does not melt the same as semisweet. It is also SOOOOO sweet!
So this is the final product. Still looks alright I guess. I'm pretty sure with one bite these might rot your teeth. They are soo sweet. If anyone knows my sister you know how much she loves sweets. (Her motto: I run to eat dessert) Even she thought they were way too sweet! So we each tried a bite to see just how bad they were but in an effort to save us and all of our friends from diabetes they are going in the trash...womp womp. My first fail. Definitely did not nail it.
