Thai Tea Blondie Ingredients:
 – 2 sticks Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled slightly
 – 1 cup Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
 – 2 large Eggs, room temperature
 – 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
 – 2 cups All-Purpose flour
 – 1 teaspoon Salt
 – 4 packet of Instant Thai Tea

Thai Tea Blondie Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment (leaving some overhang so you can get the blondies out of the pan easily) then spray with baking spray.
2. In either your stand mixer or in a medium bowl with a hand mixer, blend together the melted Butter and Light Brown Sugar.
3. Add in the Eggs one at a time, followed by the Vanilla Extract. Scrape the sides of the bowl to insure everything is mixed.
4. In a small bowl, mix the Flour, Salt and Instant Thai Tea together with a whisk.
5. While the butter mixture is beating on low, add in the flour mixture a 1/2 cup at a time. Once all combined, use a spatula and scrape the sides to make sure everything is combined.
6. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating halfway, or until a toothpick stuck into the center comes out clean.
7. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then using the parchment, lift the blondies out and cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

Sweetened Condensed Milk Frosting Ingredients:
 – 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, room temperature
 – 1 & 1/2 cups Dixie Crystals Powdered Sugar
 – 2-3 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk
 – a pinch of Salt

Sweetened Condensed Milk Frosting Directions:
 – This frosting makes a thin, sweet layer on top of the blondies. You can increase the powdered sugar to your liking to create a thicker frosting.
1. In a small bowl, with a hand blender, cream the Butter and Powdered Sugar together on a low speed.
2. Add in the Sweetened Condensed Milk. If you use more than 2 ounces, you will have to increase your powdered sugar so it will not be too runny.
3. Add in the Salt and mix until blended. Frost the Blondies with an offset spatula and enjoy!
