Recipe: White Chocolate Blondies

I'm not quite sure where brownies and I went wrong, but I'm not really a fan. Maybe it's just the boring, 'traditional' chocolate that I'm not crazy about. -I know, I know. Already you're thinking, "She doesn't like chocolate? What's wrong with her??". But, I do love white chocolate. Always have. And when I found this recipe for these white chocolate blondies, I had to try them!

8 oz. white chocolate, broken into 1" squares

½ cup butter, cut into small pieces

2 eggs

⅓ cup sugar

1 tbsp. vanilla extract

1¼ cups flour

¾ tsp. salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

• Preheat your oven to 350, and grease a 9x9 baking pan. (You can also line the pan with waxed paper, and grease that.)

• Melt the white chocolate and the butter together, stirring until smooth. The original recipe called for this to be melted using a double boiler over hot water, but using the microwave (at 40% power) for approximately 4 minutes is just as effective. Once melted, set aside.

• In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy.

• Gradually add sugar, vanilla extract and melted chocolate and mix.

• Fold in flour, salt and chocolate chips until well combined.

• Pour the mixture into the prepares pan and bake for 25 minutes.

• Cool. Cut. Serve.

I only just recently tried this recipe, but I loved it. It was easy to make, quick to bake, and tasted delicious. Everyone loved them! I thought that the richness of the white chocolate would make them really dense, but that wasn't the case at all. However, they were definitely more fudge-like, than cake-like, so keep that in mind if you're thinking this will be more like a 'traditional' brownie. :)
