Lemon Chocolate Chip Blondies

Lemon and chocolate lovers will melt over these skinny blondies.

I love food that keeps you guessing. At first sight, these looks like any other chocolate chip blondies. Sure, they’re delicious, but these blondies are so much more.

When you bite into a Lemon Chocolate Chip Blondie, the first thing you notice is the ooey gooey, melt in your mouth chocolate chips. Then the lemon flavour sneaks up on you, leaving you with a luscious lemon taste. Yum!

After one bite, you just want to have some more. Thankfully, these are a little guiltless, they’re skinny (or low fat). Your family will love this chocolatey, lemony treat.
