I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted to rate my experience with Burney’s Sweets & More.

I ordered 15 lemon bars and 15 vegan peanut blondies. The lemon bars were for my boyfriend’s birthday and I ordered the vegan peanut butter Blondies for myself.

For the two desserts this is how I would read them individually:

Vegan peanut butter blondies: 2 stars Lemon bars: 5 stars

My boyfriend loved the lemon bars that I purchased for his birthday. He said that they were delicious and tasted exactly like he wanted them to.

However, we were both disappointed by the vegan peanut butter blondies. The Blondies were not the consistency of your typical Blondie or brownie, They were more of the consistency of a protein bar with a glob of peanut butter on top of it. For the price I paid for the vegan peanut butter blondies, which was $60, I expected a lot more than what I received. It was not worth $60; for something I could’ve baked myself if I had the time. It did not reach my expectations nor was it what I was hoping for it to be, based on the name (or having had blondies before going dairy-free). Additionally, I bit into something extremely hard while chewing on the peanut butter Blondie. When taking a closer look it definitely looked like the pit of some sort of fruit, which is extremely dangerous. I was lucky that I did not hurt myself while eating it or chip a tooth. My boyfriend also bit into one and found a giant pit.

Of course this bakery does not cater to non-dairy or vegan treats, but I did expect something similar to what I thought I was purchasing, which was not a Blondie at all. I would recommend this place for people that are looking for a lemon bars or something dairy friendly. The staff was accommodating and friendly, in additional to attending to my needs despite the delay in my order.
