Are Blondies Really More Fun?

I was quite literally told to make this recipe and to not judge or ask questions until I had tried the finished item. Because this project was actually Gavin's demand , he was my assistant during this bake. 

For those of you who have no idea what Blondies are (neither did until very recently!), they are a type of Brownie, the main difference being that they are made with White Chocolate, making them Blonde instead of Brown - hence the name.

The Project: Are Blondies Really More Fun?
Ingredients: 
For the Blondies:
100g White Chocolate
125g Unsalted Butter
225g Light Soft Brown Sugar
1tsp Vanilla Extract
3 Large Eggs
100g Plain Flour
50g Self Raising Flour
4 Tablespoons of Horlicks
100g Maltesers
60g Milk Chocolate
For the Topping;
35g Maltesers
60g White Chocolate

Blondies require longer in the oven than a cake on a lower  heat - so the first step was to preheat the oven to 150°C (Fan), then on with the baking.

Melt the white chocolate in a bowl over boiling water - avoiding the whole burnt chocolate that ruins the taste of your baked goods issue :)

When it starts to melt, you can add the butter to the bowl, once completely melted, you mix them together, resulting in a smooth mixture.

Next, you add the sugar, beaten eggs and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture, you really need to make sure that you stir this well, soft sugar tends to clump together, leaving little annoying pockets of sugar that you really do not want.

Sift the self raising flour, plain flour and Horlicks into the mixture and stir until combined.

When you are happy that the mixture is sufficiently stirred, you can add in the Maltesers and chopped milk chocolate chunks.

Then pour into your prepared tin and pop into the oven.

It takes about 30 minutes in the oven to finish. Once done, you can prepare the topping whilst it is cooling. Crush the remaining Maltesers and melt the remaining white chocolate.

Scatter the chopped Maltesers on top of the Blondies and drizzle the white chocolate and we are done!

I promised that I would stick to the recipe perfectly for this project, I was true to my word, although I do have some things that I would change about the recipe and some things that I would do differently. For example, I would not include the extra chopped chocolate, it's not necessary, in it's place I would add some kind of nut, perhaps walnuts or pecans, something to add a crunch and to break up this very rich Blondie. 

 I also woud not add the Maltesers to the main mixture, if you spoon in half the mixture into the tin, then add your Maltesers on top and cover with the remaining mixture, you will end up with Maltesers scattered more evenly.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised, generally I liked them. They are a good idea and a nice twist to normal brownies. Give them a whirl for yourself :)
