Maple Butter Blondie Dessert

There was a time that everyone called for brownies………well, they still do.  We also hear the cheers for Blondies and I believe they are as beloved as Brownies.

Funny, as a child, it was not brownies that I asked for.  It was eclaires filled with a rich custard.  Cream filled cookies was second and Mallowmars was third.
