Emily’s Mom’s Heidihos:
My mom has been making these Heidihos since she was 18 years old… so almost 50 years now. She made them my whole childhood and to this day it is the recipe all my friends ask her for. She has never given it to anyone. Until now.
She has hoarded this recipe for 50 years and swore my sister and I to secrecy when she gave it to us in a recipe box a couple years ago. Well, we figured if there was ever a time that the world needed the best blondies known to man, it was now. I hope you love these Heidihos as much as I have loved them my entire life. FYI: my mom’s license plate says HEIDIHO – that’s just how much she loves them – and the nickname. 🙂
