WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIES
Blondies are a type of brownie dessert without the chocolate. These blondies are a great treat primarily because of the white chocolate frosting. It’s often true of brownies as well – the frosting is what makes it special. If you don’t have cocoa butter, then make one of my other frostings – even a chocolate frosting would be fine, but it needs to taste like a regular, sugary-sweet frosting. This dessert is a moderate carb dessert, so not something one can go hog wild on. One or two servings a day and that’s about it for dessert! My DH liked these.
