a brownie that ditched chocolate and somehow gained more swagger
means A dense, chewy bar dessert made with brown sugar and vanilla instead of chocolate, often studded with butterscotch or white chocolate chips and nuts.
from A straightforward riff on 'brownie,' the chocolate bar treat named for its brown color. The 'blondie' simply swaps in the pale, golden hue of its brown-sugar base — so where the brownie is brunette, this one's blonde. 'Blonde' itself reaches back through Old French to a medieval Latin 'blondus' meaning yellowish, of uncertain ultimate root. The American baking sense is a 20th-century coinage, the cheeky younger sibling in a family named for color.
