Here’s a little something I think you guys will like. It’s a Walnut Blondie with Maple Butter Sauce. I don’t know what made me think about this dessert, because I’ve only had it once. It was several years ago… maybe even eight. I was eating out at Applebee’s with my family and we decided to get dessert. Now, I eat out kind of often, but desserts are usually saved for celebrations. Birthdays and such. And, when I do get one, it’s usually the most chocolate thing on the menu and it never contains nuts. But on that day, it wasn’t my celebration. It was my uncle’s and I agreed to split this non-chocolate, nut-filled dessert – the whole while thinking about how much better the chocolate would be. Well, I was wrong. Way wrong. This might have even been the best thing I had ever tasted. (up until that point, anyway.)
So, if you’ve never been to Applebee’s and you’ve never tasted the Walnut Blondie with Maple Butter Sauce, that’s okay. Because, you’re in luck. I found a recipe from The Secret Recipe Blog that’s as close to the original as I remember it.
I promise you’ll like it.
Here are the ingredients for the blondies.
Mix it all up…
And, spread it all out in a greased and floured 8 or 9 inch square pan. (I used the 8 inch)
When the blondies are almost done, mix up your maple butter sauce. Here’s what you’ll need.
When the brownies are done, cool for a few minutes. Cut and serve while they are still warm.
Put one, or two, or six on a plate. Pile on some vanilla ice cream and slowly pour the warm maple butter sauce over everything. Top with any extra walnuts.
OMG!!!!!
Now, if you don’t have any ice cream in the house, don’t let that stop you from making this.
Actually, if one were to make just the blondies and the maple butter sauce, one might even want to cut up small pieces of the blondie and use the maple butter sauce as a dip. One might even end up dunking the whole thing in the sauce and getting maple butter all over their fingers that they then had to force themselves to lick off. However, I don’t know anyone like that.
Again, here’s the recipe.
And, now for a giveaway…

My favourite dessert is really something me and my mum got a bit wrong. It was Cherry Berry Trifle according-to-the-recipe, but eventually consisted of a lovely Cherry Berry mixture from the local farm shop (cherries, red/white/balck currants, brambles, loganberries, raspberries), stewed and topped with creeeeamy white chocolate custard. Then a bit of extra white chocolate shaved on top for fun. Mmmmmm.
I have two – Sydney’s Sinful Sundae at Outback or a slice of plain cheesecake with fruit sauce at Cheesecake Factory. Delish!
totally love SKOOKIES made at firehouse pizzaria!!!
My favorite is the Lemon Cream cake from Olive Garden.
robin@bouki.com
Definitely Cheesecake Factory cheesecake with cherries on it! AmaZING!!! :)

I think my favorite would have to be the cinnamon twist from Mrs. Powells. It could be a toss-up with tiger ears at our state fair (giant, fried scones with lots of cinnamon, sugar, and honey butter…mmmm!)I must like cinnamon…

I love Milkshakes…not very original, I know. But I love them!! Yuuum!
Anywhere I go that serves Key Lime Pie I have to get. I lived in Key West for a little while and had some very yummy Key Lime pie. I’ve been addicted ever since!
I absolutely love the McDonald cookies — the original shortbread kind. It’s a shame they’ve gotten so expensive. I’m also a sucker for fried ice cream!
White Chocolate Mousse with raspberries at Grand Finale in Glendale OH
Coffee Lovers signature mix at Cold stone… seems to me that I’m always at the mall when I eat out any more and that’s perfect.

McD’s apple pie, HANDS DOWN.
I wrote about my favorite in Dallas so far on my blog!
http://thatwifeblog.com/?p=1045
It’s Mile High Ice Cream Pie from Champps.
I love the Chili’s skillet apple pie the most. I’m so sad they’re not serving it anymore (for a while). I’ve tried their current skillet dessert- something berry mixed – but it’s just not as good.

It’s hard to pick one, but I really like the Molten Chocolate Cake at Chili’s. Warm chocolate cake, fudge, ice cream and the hard chocolate shell. Lovely.
ccupak at gmail dot com
The coconut cake at Inspirations Tea Room in Oklahoma. YUM!!
I don’t make it there often, but my fave has to be pumpkin pecan cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory.
Another fave is a blueberry waffle cone ice cream from a place in Gatlinburg called Kilwin’s. I’ve only been to Gatlinburg once, and for three days. I had that ice cream four times!!
The anniversary cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory is to die for!
One of my favorites is the Molten Chocolate Lava cake dessert that I had at the Chart House…just the perfect chocolate cake, crusty on the outside, oozing chocolately center with a softer cake on the inside, topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and heath bar crunch chocolate bar bits!
O and I forgot to add – I LOVE your cake stand in the first pic!
One of My Favorites is the White Chocolate Brownie from Moxies
But anything with Milk chocolate is to die for

Actually, my favorite dining out dessert is a Blondie at Applebee’s! Sometimes, I meet up with my girlfriends there just for dessert, and I always leave room for a blondie if I eat there.

rachel.leingang@gmail.com

No matter where it’s served – Hot Fudge Brownie with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream! Yum!

I would have to go with Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Had it last night, YUM.
My favorite is crem brulee from Ruth’s Cris Steakhouse. So creamy and so yummy.
Olive Garden used to have this amazing dessert called Brownie Decadenza- it was similar to the Blondie, but oh, so, chocolatey- it was to die for!
I love the hot fudge sundae brownie from Frisch’s Big Boy.
Strawberry shortcake from the Cheesecake Factory. What you say? Not CHEESECAKE? Nope SHORT-cake! LOL

coconut tapioca pudding with mango sauce and pineapple pieces from brasa in minnesota
Cheesecake with strawberry sauce from Chili’s.
My favorite dining out dessert of all time was the killer cookie ice cream from Ms. Ellie’s in South Fork, Arizona which sadly no longer exists. I would love to get my hands on that recipe because I still crave it, ten years later. Yeah. It was that good. If I had to pick a dining out dessert from a place still in operation, it would be the Creme Brulee from Carrabba’s. If I win, I can be contacted at http://bakingbecca.blogspot.com. You are awesome, Bakerella!
one of my all time favorite desserts was served at TGIFriday’s… It was a huge oreo cookie with the middle filled with ice cream instead of “cream” and then covered with carmel and hot fudge… mmmmmm just drooling thinking about it!
hi!
creme brulee and beignets at DC Coast restaurant..so light but hits the spot!

I love a Reeses’ PB cup milkshake from Sonic…I’m a simple girl!
florida_thomas@hotmail.com
I love a simple hot fudge sundae with mint chocolate chip ice cream and a cherry on top from Friendly’s.
Without a doubt – the Lemoncello Cream Torte at Cheesecake Factory. Sometimes you can get it at Costco, but it’s very dangerous to have in the home because I will eat the whole torte in about 24 hours.

The Torta di Chocolate (A warm double chocolate cake served with vanilla cream sauce and fresh strawberries) from Olive Garden is amazing!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the strawberry tall cake at Ruby Tuesday’s. I don’t think they serve it anymore but it was AMAZING!
I’m an apple pie girl and out in the middle-of-no-where-Idaho there is a little town called Almo….right by The City of Rocks. It’s a one restaurant / one closed gas station town so it’s itty-bitty. However, the apple pie this place serves is worth the drive!!! So tasty, but I’m prety sure your blondie tops the charts!!!!
I love the chocolate cake at Johnny Carinos with its thick fudgy icing and toffee bits. They used to warm it up a bit, but not so much any more…
It is extremely rare that we order dessert when we go out to eat (it is getting rare for us to even go out to eat anymore). So it has been a long time since I have had restaurant desserts. If I had to pick, I would have to say Cracker Barrel’s Apple Dumpling is my favorite. It is huge and so yummy!
I’m always in the mood for the Mississippi Mud Blizzard at Dairy Queen

Apple crisp a la mode…hands down. The kind they serve in it’s own piping hot baking dish..deep dish with melting ice cream..deliciousness!

jamacias01@hotmail.com
I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited about any restaurant dessert as I was about the one and only time I had bananas foster at a nice restaurant. Amazing.
Butterscotch pot de creme at Milestones
It’s Cheesecake Factory’s Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple cheesecake for me. I’m sure it’s around 100 calories a bite, but man is it good!
I love creme brulee from any restaurant that can do it well. Burned sugar and creamy custard. Mmmm……
it has got to be the gluten free brownies at maggiano’s. they arrive at your table warm with whipped cream and chocolate and caramel sauces. amazing.

Fried ice cream for sure. Love the cinnamon flavor with the vanilla and crunchy and cold…so yummy!!

Salted caramel pretzel ice cream or the brioche donuts with hot fudge at Chicago cafe Hot Chocolate. unbeatable!
beth.minnery@gmail.com
I remember what it was called. Anyone wanting a chocolate explosion, go to Longhorns and order their Chocolate Stampede! Paradise on a plate.
Definately has to be the “Chocolate Stuff” at Barbara Jean’s Resturaant at St. Simons Island. Really is the best thing next to, well anything.
I think the best dining out dessert I’ve had was a chocolate layer cake from Longhorns. The cake was so rich and had layers of some kind of chocolate mouse/frosting. I don’t remember, but I remember it being SO good. I’m going to go look for it now!
(silverblues107@hotmail.com)
I love the fudge cake from Bob’s Big Boy! Yummy chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream (they make it with mint chip, too, and it’s just as good), hot fudge and whipped cream!
sweet8684girl at yahoo dot com
You chose my favorite dessert. When I go to Applebee’s, I order the maple butter blondie without dinner so that I can eat the whole thing. Yum!
Well I would have to give my support to our local Los Hermanos for their Fried IceCream. Heavenly!
I’m a creme brulee girl, or flan, where ever they serve it!
Dick’s American Bandstand Restaurant has long gone out of buisness but they had an “Ooey Gooey Chocolate Orgy” dessert that had four fudgy brownies, four scoops of ice cream, hot fudge sauce, nuts, whipped cream and cherries. They even served it with those little sand shovels that kids play with on the beach. My friends and I would go there and just order that dessert. It was to die for…
There’s a little pizza/pasta place here in my smalltown, Idaho that serves what they call a “cookie monster.” They bake a giant cookie in a round 8″ pan, cover it with ice cream, caramel, chocolate, whipped cream, and nuts. You need at least three people to eat it. Delicious!
My favorite dessert is at a little restaurant called Moxie in downtown Spokane WA. It’s their caramel banana torte. It’s amazing; with salty caramel, perfect bananas, and a wonderful custard on top.

Green Tea Creme Brulee at Chef Geoff’s in Washington DC.
I love desserts at Applebee’s…especially that blondie with ice cream…kwilkins(at)campusoutreach.org

Favorite dessert…the chocolate bag at Truluck’s in Austin. Imagine this…chocolate molded like magic into a paper bag shape, 3-D and all. OK, take that chocolate bag, fill it with chunks of pound cake, fresh strawberries and blueberries and fudge sauce. The waiter serves it whole and then chunks it up with a big ol’ khife, then pours more hot fudge over the top. So YUM!
too many to name… chocolate chip paradise pie is WWWWAAAYYYY up on the litt. There is also a mom-and-pop deli type place that has delish chocolate- marshmallow ice cream.
I do have to say, though, that after finding this blog and trying your cookie brownies, we may start cpming home for dessert!!!
-Kirin (snrahart@aol.com)
I love the chocolate chip paradise pie at Chili’s. I could eat tons of it! Yum!
I have recently become a fan of Copeland’s creole style cheesecake with 3 carmels sauce. YUMMY!!
The best is from Rueben & Wongs, it is a 2 cup container filled with layers of brownies, hot fudge sause, whip cream, ice cream, walnuts, and rpeat layer again! Topped with some more whip cream, min 2 cherries and of course some choc sprinkles. The brownies are so moist they just melt, and this one is served with extra long spoons so you can share all around the table. FAVE for sure.

I have recently become a fan of Copeland’s creole style cheesecake with 3 carmels sauce. YUMMY!!
The Wendy’s frosty. Classic. Perfection. Yummm…

I’ll keep it simple!
Twist Cone @ Costco!
It’s so creamy!
I LOVE fried Ice Cream with chocolate and Carmel syrup whip cream and cherry on top. Mmmmm So Yummy!
The White Chocolate Molten from Chili’s!!!!!
My dessert of choice would be a hot apple crisp with vanilla ice cream, drizzled with carmel sauce. OH, now I’ve got a hankering for some! THANKS!!
It is the Root Beer Float at M in Columbus, OH. This is no ordinary soda shop root beer float. This is the fine dining version.
From the table overlooking Columbus’ skyline you are served a plate with a frosted mug filled with delicious vanilla ice cream and root beer granita, your own bottle of IBC rootbeer to pour at will and some freshly baked, warm chocolate chip cookies. Heaven. The root beer granita tastes exactly like you want the root beer to taste when it freezes perfectly in the frosted mug – not too much just enough to give you a little crispy crunch with all the sweet flavor and not watered down. I don’t care much for root beer floats but this changed my mind on that forever. It’s fabulous.
I love Cafe Rio’s Tres Leches or an Arctic Circle shake.
I love warm apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Thanks.
My current favorite dining out dessert is the Lemon Cream Cake from the Olive Garden! We ate out there a few weeks ago and I really wanted Tirimisu because I knew I liked it but something inside me told me to try that Lemon Cream Cake so I did. It’s amazing!! I have been thinking about it ever since…
twinmom80@yahoo.com
I’m a bit odd, my all time favorite dessert from a restaurant(besides Applebee’s Blondie!) was an old restaurant here in Cleveland called Chi-chi’s they had this awesome fried ice cream cinnamon-tortilla thing, that I loved. I’ve never been able to find anything similar since they closed down..
I think I’m gonna have to go with chocolate lasagna at Olive Garden…so yummy!
cheesecake factory – tuxedo cheesecake!!!
Linda n.
I love the molten cakes at Chillis and I will always get a blondie is someone has it, but a good sundae will do the trick as well!!
I would love the GC! My dh and I could so use a date night!
Crossing my fingers…
cheesecake factory desserts are
hands down my favorite! the cheesecake is amazing, but all their other desserts are wonderful also!
i don’t like chocolate, so i can’t wait to try this blondie recipe.

Absolute favorite is PF Chang’s GREAT WALL OF CHOCOLATE!
(my email is catherine.clift@gmail.com)
Chocolate Wave cake from Red Lobster – ask them to warm it a bit before they put the ice cream on it. YUMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm!
My favorite dine out dessert is chocolate molten cake from a fabulous restaurant called Roy’s. Warm, chocolatey and gooey… what could be better?
I love the molten “lava” cake (as we lovingly refer to it in my house) at Chili’s. I love how the gooey inside makes the cake so moist. It is better than the pricy version I’ve had in fancy restaurants.
We also love the Pizookie at BJ’s. So tasty!!!
marinandderek at aol dot com
OOOO there are so many. I like the “white chocolate molten cake” from Chili’s and “chocolate thunder from down under” at The outback. This is probably the most difficult question ever …. O yeah and anything like apple pie alamode. And I did have the Maple Butter blondie about 3 weeks ago. ummm ummm!!!!!

bethpaull@rochester.rr.com
Molten chocolate cakes from Chili’s and just about any cheesecake. I also love sizzling apple pies that they serve at mexican restaurants. I hardly ever eat dessert but when I do these are the one’s I go for.

Oh, it’s been a couple of years since I’ve had that Applebee’s blondie. yummmmmm.
Biaggi’s bananas foster is one of my favorites.
Chili’s molten chocolate CHIP cake is my absolute favorite! I think it’s their newest desert. LOVE IT!
Either fried ice cream at a local Mexican restaurant or Olive Garden’s white chocolate raspberry cheesecake.
Lemon raspberry cheesecake at Cheesecake Factory…to die for!
tarynitup@gmail.com
I love the Pana Cotta and Tiramisu at the local mom & pop Italian Restaurant downtown. I have tried to replicate it to no avail! It's just sooo darn good!
best dining out desert comes from restaurant Sweet Fire & Ice in New Orleans…it's a cheesecake Martini! Scoops of various flavors of cheesecake in a Martini glass topped with crumbled graham cracker crust and toasted pecans and then garnished w/ your choice of sauce (read chocolate, praline, dulce de leche, raspberry etc.) and whipped cream- YUM!!

Black and white cake from Alcove, in Los Angeles!

Death by Chocolate! Can’t even remember the name of the restaurant where I ate it, but the combination of sleep deprived college student and chocolate/sugar overload made for some very hyper memories!
favorite dessert has to be without a doubt the flan at abuelos mexican restaurant in dallas tx.
AMAZING
I love dairy queen soft serve!
That looks delicious. I may make a few changes and whip it up for my boyfriend this weekend. He has been complaining that I haven’t cooked or baked for him lately… That said, I remember this restaurant a looooong time ago that had fried ice cream. It was so yummy. I miss that place and the junk from the store (no offense!) just isn’t the same.
Anyway, off to wait for your news!!

I Love, LOVE the Lemon Passion dessert at Macaroni Grill…yummy.
I love the warm, flourless chocolate waffle from Sweetwater Tavern!
Caramel Pie from O’Charley’s. So rich and creamy. And the whip cream on top…Mmmmm
g_nat28@yahoo.com
My alltime favorite. Creme Brulee from Pacifica Grill in San Diego. One of the first dates my husband and I ever went on. I vividly remember the date the dessert and the evening. I’ve only made in once in our 17 years of marriage. It is a very time consuming recipe, but well worth it.
Aaahhhhh Good times, good times.
I LOVE the Chocolate Molton Cake at Chilis! BUT I also do love the Walnut Blondie at Applebees! um!
Wow, you have a lot of these to read. I have 2 favorite dining out desserts, my first one is from a local favorite in Utah which is the Magelbys Fresh chocolate cake (which is homemade everyday). 2nd is the Chili’s Chocolate Moulton cake and that is because my husband durning a hard time surprised me with it next to candle light. My info. robynjsdesigns@gmail.com
Longhorn Steakhouse’s Ultimate Brownie Sundae.
Nothing better than a disgustingly decadent Ghiradelli chocolate brownie piping hot and oozing fudge smothered in ice cold vanilla ice cream and drowning in even more gooeylicious fudge.
Now I am hungry….
kaityzmum@yahoo.com
I had almost the exact same experience, only it was my grandmother who ordered dessert and I agreed to share. I knew there was something else on the menu that had to be better, but it was her choice. I couldn’t believe how good it was, and now I order it whenever we’re in Applebee’s.
As for my favorite dessert, it has to be ice cream from Mad Martha’s on Martha’s Vineyard. I get it almost every night when we’re on vacation.
It's a toss up, dutch apple caramel streusel cheesecake & the chocolate cake cheesecake. Yes, both from the cheesecake factory.
I pretty much love any desert that I get when I actually order desert, but this restaurant where I go to school called The Neighbors Place pretty much combines the blondie and a regular brownie together! Its called the Brownie Two Tone. It is a rich toffee crunch Blondie and white chocolate brownie topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate caramel sauce, and finished with whip cream. DELICIOUS! But I also love the twisty ice cream of chocolate and vanilla with lots of sprinkles that you can pretty much get from any buffet!
You are AWESOME! :0)
My current favorite is the little chocolate cakes at our Jack in the Box. They are surprisingly good just the right size and not exorbitant. Plus super easy when I really need a hit of chocolate.
Kare
I LOVED the Banana Rumba dessert at Chili’s and I’m very sad they no longer have it.
Olive Garden used to have this yummy creme brulee’. I love areally good cheesecake. The Fogo De Chao in Buckhead (ATL) has the tallest cheesecake I’ve ever seen. Funny, I’ve never been to the cheesecake factory. I wonder how their cheesecake is.
Thanks for doing a giveaway. I enjoy just entering. I’m not a gambler or Lotto player and the one time I did Publisher’s clearing house on my computer it crashed from all the spam. I only enter blog giveaways.
I would have to say the Snickers Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. Yum!! So rich and delicious. And a combination of two of my favorite things, snickers and cheesecake! You can’t beat it!
soon2bmrsh at gmail dot com
I used to love the Brownie sundae from Bennigan’s…walnut brownie on bottom, ice cream on top, topped with hot fudge sauce. Yum! I craved that when I was pregnant with my older son…used to go in just for dessert. They soon got to know me. :) We don’t have Bennigan’s here anymore, and I miss it.

I love cheesecake from just about anywhere!
Apple Cinnamon Oblivion at Outback Steakhouse, is my hands down favorite.
Im Partial to Tiramisu or the Hot Choclate melting cake with Strawberrys and Creme at Olive Garden its Divine!
My favorite dining out desert was a place in Oklahoma called the Crimson Ice Creamary…..Divine. For $2.50 you could get a heaping amount of ice cream and mixins and it was the best ice cream….EVER! The place went out of business, but not for a lack of me and my friends trying to keep it running:-)
It used to be the Strawberry Tallcake from Ruby Tuesdays-imagine my surprise when we moved back to the states and i found it had disappeared from the menu!!
There was a little bistro in Guam that made a mango ginger souffle to die for! I like to support locally owned places, if possible.
Right now it’s a toss up between the Hot Fudge Cake Sundae (a huge piece of chocolate cake with ice cream and hot fudge and whipped cream and cherries) that we had at Cheddar’s a few weeks ago, or any flavor ice cream from Bruster’s. All of their ice cream is homemade, and it’s difficult for me to pick a favorite.
I have two. Years ago 2 friends and I would go to Ruby Tuesday’s strictly for the chocolate tall cake. We called it ‘sex in a glass’ and would even order it under that name. The servers always knew what we were referring to.
My NEW favorite is the chocolate chip cookie dough flautas at Tijuana Flats. Oh they are heaven and great for sharing!
I love dessert of any kind: pies, cakes. I absolutely love cheesecake. I’ll take it anywhere! And the fresh strawberry pie from Perkins is another fave!

Cold Stone ice cream.
Cheesecake – it’s my weakness, and I can’t seem to pull off a homemade one, so whenever I get dessert – that’s what I choose…
Mmmmm….
My favorite dessert recently is Starbucks Marshmallow Squares – I've always loved rice crispie treats (so long as you can taste the marshmallow) & their's have actual chunks of marshmallow!
There’s a place called Sweet Christopher’s a block outside my apartment here in Jamaica Plain/Boston.
Their flourless chocolate cake may be the best dessert I’ve ever had, ever, and I don’t like flourless chocolate cake.
Plus the owner is incredibly nice.

Oh the Melting Pot’s Cookies and Cream Marshmellow Dream is my weakness…dip a few strawberries in it and I’m set!
I love, Love, LOVE Cheesecake Factory’s fresh strawberry cheesecake!
Just the right amount of plain cheesecake and strawberries with whipped cream for good measure!
Mmmmm!
