Brownies vs Blondies: which recipe will you choose?

Gooey chocolate brownies your go-to? Or maybe you’re partial to a blondie? Either way, we’re about to deliver the goods you’ve been waiting for. To celebrate the launch of our brand-new Carb Killa® flavours, Dark Chocolate Raspberry and White Chocolate Salted Peanut, nutritionist and talented baker Elkie Chiu has created not one, but TWO delicious recipes for you to whip up in the kitchen!

The first is a classic brownie – but with a twist! It features our decadent new Dark Chocolate Raspberry bar, meaning a rich dark chocolate and tart raspberry flavour. Elkie’s second offering is a nutty white chocolate blondie, featuring our second new bar, ideal for those with a sweet tooth.

But which is better? We’ll let you be the judge of that! Give these recipes a go and don’t forget to tag us in your photos on Instagram at @grenadeofficial.
