ORANGE BLONDIES



Orange Blondies image

When I got this recipe from a lady at church it was called orange brownies but since there is no chocolate I thought blondies was more appropriate. It comes from a Lady and Son's cookbook. It also came with a glaze but instead she uses a cream cheese frosting. It is rich but very good, this comes from someone that only tried them because there was no chocolate at the buffet table.
