After the success of my double chocolate and salted caramel crunch cookies, I was asked by a colleague to try white chocolate brownies, better known as blondies.

Now I’ve seen pictures of them all over Pinterest but I’d never thought of making them before and I really don’t know why!

They were really easy to make, I wouldn’t say they had the full texture of chocolate brownies though, still delicious just different.

They had a crispy outing and a fudgy inside but not as rich so you could eat more 😋 that’s definitely something I can get on board with!

And the verdict of said colleague…chants of ‘we want more brownies’….

Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened salted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups caster sugar
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups self raising flour
  • 225g white chocolate, chopped
  • 100g milk chocolate chips

Prep Time: 15 minutes      Cooking Time: 45-50 minutes       Total Time: 60-65 minutes       Makes: 16 – 20 squares

Method:

  1. Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4.
  2. In a large heat proof bowl, melt the butter and white chocolate together, either in the microwave (stir after every 20 seconds) or over a boiling pot of water, stirring frequently.
  3. Stir in the sugar and vanilla until combined, then mix in the eggs.
  4. Add the chocolate chips to the sieved flour (this ensures the chips don’t fall to the bottom of the batter), then slowly add to the batter, combining completely.
  5. Line a baking tray (around 9×9) with baking paper and bake for 45-50 minutes – until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool slightly before devouring!
