TWD - Chewy Chunky Blondie


This week’s TWD recipe is chewy chunky blondies and was chosen by Nicole of Cookies on Fridays. I think of blondies being brownies made with white chocolate, but these blondies were rich, fudgey bars with delicious add ins in the form of chocolate, walnuts and toffee pieces – no white chocolate in sight.

I loved this recipe as it was easy to make and had great taste results. I halved the recipe and made it in a 20cm square tin. Next time I would make the whole recipe though as the blondies are so delicious. They were almost like a soft chocolate chunk cookie made in a tin. The add ins of dark chocolate, walnuts and toffee bits were delicious. You cant get Heath’s toffee pieces in NZ, so I smashed up some werther original toffees which have the same effect. The recipe also called for coconut – I actually left that out, as even though I like coconut, I think it would have detracted from the other flavours.

The blondies were delicious – I would definitely make these again. Check out the other TWD links here.

mmmmm, your blondies look delish! I can't get heath bars here in the UK either, so I will try using Werther toffees next time. I used butterscotch chips which were delicious :-)

Do you have other types of toffee? (It seems like I can usually find toffee when I'm in England.) I'm glad you found something that worked. Thanks for baking along with me this week.

Great looking blondies! I did add the coconut and thought it added a nice chewiness. :)
