At Thorpe’s Bakery, we celebrate all things traybake—and few rivalries stir the tastebuds quite like the age-old debate between brownies and blondies. Both bring their own magic to the mixing bowl, each offering a chewy texture and irresistible flavour—but their personalities are distinctly delicious.
Think of them as dessert siblings with dramatically different styles: one bold and brooding, the other warm and whimsical. And lucky for you, Thorpe’s Bakery serves both with love.
Brownies: The Rich Classic
Brownies are the definition of indulgence. Crafted with cocoa powder or melted chocolate (often both), they’re dense, fudgy, and unapologetically decadent. Whether you prefer yours cakey or gooey, brownies deliver a chocolatey punch that’s hard to beat.
Why we love them at Thorpe’s Bakery:
- Ultra-fudgy texture with melt-in-your-mouth richness
- Intense chocolate flavour made for true chocoholics
- Customisable with mix-ins like mars, kinder bueno, or a salted caramel
- Always perfect straight from the oven or warmed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
Blondies: The Buttery Underdog
On the other side of the traybake spectrum, blondies swap cocoa for brown sugar and vanilla—resulting in a golden bar with irresistible notes of butterscotch. At Thorpe’s Bakery, they’re the unsung hero, quietly stealing hearts one chewy bite at a time.
Why our customers adore them:
- Warm, caramelised flavour with a hint of nostalgia
- Buttery chewiness that rivals any brownie
- Stunning with white chocolate and raspberry, biscoff or chocolate orange
- A versatile bake that plays well with seasonal twists
The Verdict: Why Choose?
So which wins—the chocolatey powerhouse or the golden charmer? Here at Thorpe’s Bakery, we say why choose? When dessert is this delightful, there’s always room for both
