Make sure you have everything prepared before you start mixing: line the pan and preheat the oven. It is so easy to get flustered once you start mixing, especially since there are two mixes going on here!
Read through the instructions twice, especially the ingredients and their measurements. I have lost count of how many times I have started making the brownie batter and mixing the wrong amount of flour in! Know where you are at so you don't make my mistakes!
Make sure, with both the brownie and the blondie mixtures, to allow a few minutes for the initial mixtures to cool before adding the eggs. If you rush through, you may end up slightly cooking the eggs in the warmth of the mixture, ending up with delicious scrambled eggs instead!
When you melt the butter, sugar and chocolate together for the blondie part, the mixture will initially look like it does not mix. The butter will look separated and the rest will look a curdled mess. This is exactly how it should look, just keep mixing until it all blends together and becomes one smooth mixture.
Take your time when placing the mixture into the tin. Place spoonfuls next to each other, alternating between the blondie and the brownie mixtures, until all used up, then work on the layer above.
When doing the brownie blondie swirl, remember not to over swirl it or it will end up mixing both batters and will lose definition between the two colours.
Leave the brownie blondies to cool completely before you cut into them. I know it is so tempting to cut in as soon as you can. Remember though that the warm blondies will continue to bake even once out of the oven. Additionally, cutting it when it is still warm will result in them falling apart as you cut them. So no lovely neat squares!
