Way too much butter (and I AM a butter-lover); it lacked the texture and consistency of a brownie, it was rather "powdery"; too salty also. I don't know if that is what blondies are supposed to be like since I'd never made them before, I've only bought them and those were much better. Will keep trying other recipes.

We call these Pecan Chewies. Try using a mini muffin pan, quick spray of Pam, a few pecans in the bottom and then pour in batter to fill 3/4. Cut the cooking time back to about 15 minutes. Little tidbits of yum :-) takes 2) 12 mini muffin pans.
