Blondies

This is by far one of my favourite square recipes. Blondies are all about caramel flavour with bites of white chocolate – could a simple square ask for anything more? Not to knock all of those chocolate confections, but if there is a choice between caramel and chocolate, I’m going for the caramel!

When these are finished baking the top will be raised like a brownie, but once it cools the middle will sink a  bit and you are left with these raised crispy edges and gooey centre. You can cut the edges off for a neater presentation when serving and keep the crunchy bits for testing purposes! The edges really are the best part, just not the prettiest.

If you would like to have a little bit of contrast in these squares you can add 1/2 cup of dried cranberries – this makes for a festive look when the season rolls around. But I like them with just white chocolate chips- nice and creamy.The addition of cardamon gives just a hint of spice to the creamy texture.

I hope you love them as much as I do and maybe you will have more restraint than I do and not eat all the edges yourself.
