This recipe from our good friends at Ovenly amps up the flavor of traditional blondies by giving them the deliciously buttery sweetness of the fabled Ooey Gooey Cake!!! Erin and Agatha recommend using chocolate that is 60% or higher cacao. Either way, the recipe is almost too easy to make something so incredible.
