White Chocolate And Dried Cranberry Blondie

Blondie are something similar to brownies we could call them sisters. Rich,chewy and loaded with white chocolate and cranberries. The sweetness of white chocolate are well balance with the tartness of cranberry. This blondie are great as holiday baking to serve family and friends. I baked them as requested by my daughter who are very fond of white chocolate. In Malaysia, access to fresh cranberry are very limited, we always get them in frozen or dried versions. If you have fresh cranberry, do go ahead and mix them into the batter replacing the dried cranberries.

This is my first trial on making blondie which i was skeptical to give it a try worrying the girls are very familiar with brownies and how they'll react to blondie. To my surprise the girls love the blondie as much as i do. The whole baking tray of blondie gone without any left over for the next day. That's the verdict i got for my white chocolate and dried cranberry blondie.
