I'm not usually a fan of blondies, but these apricot blondies were delicious! The apricots added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the blondies.

These blondies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would make them again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar by half.

These blondies were a complete disaster! They were so dry and crumbly that they fell apart when I tried to cut them.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my blondies turned out really dense and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These blondies were good, but not great. I found them to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

I was a little disappointed with these blondies. They were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been made with more butter.

These blondies were delicious! I made them with dried apricots and they turned out great. The blondies were moist and chewy, and the apricots added a nice chewy texture.
