Receta Staci's Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Blondies

by CookingLib

Did y'all know I have a baby brother?

He's a bit younger then me…10 years younger as a matter of fact.

The age difference between us made it difficult to relate to

one another as we were growing up.

I was in middle school and he was starting preschool.

I was in high school and he was starting elementary school.

He was only 16 when Husband Man and I tied the knot.

Crazy huh?

He is now a solider in the Army and has a

family of his own.

Which is crazy for me to digest because I have always known

him as my baby brother.

This dessert comes to us via his wife, Staci.

She gave this recipe to me last year.

Like most of the recipes people give me, it stayed in my

file for a long time.

She told me that it came from a co-worker of hers.

However, since I do not know this co-worker,

I've just deemed them as her recipe :)

I am glad I made these this week because now I know why

she loves them so much!

These are the perfect dessert to make if you are

wanting something

that resembles cake, but on a lighter scale.

If you are one of those people who like to dream about

fall during the spring/summer, then you

have to make this recipe!

These will make your fall dreams *almost* feel like they are

coming true. Almost ;)
