In a bowl, beat together all the "chocolate layer" ingredients until well combined.
Spread in the prepared pan and set in the freezer to firm up while preparing the top layer.
In another bowl, beat together the "blondie" ingredients until well combined.
Spread onto the chilled chocolate batter in an even layer.
Bake for 28-30 minutes, until a tester comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool completely before cutting.
