Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some excess paper hanging over the sides for easier removal of the blondies.
2. Melt the White Chocolate and Butter:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the white chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir frequently until both are fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
3. Cool Slightly:
- Once melted, remove the bowl from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
4. Combine Sugar and Eggs:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until the mixture is smooth and slightly pale.
5. Add the Melted White Chocolate Mixture:
- Gradually pour the melted white chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring consistently to combine well.
6. Sift and Add the Flours:
- Sift in the all-purpose flour and self-raising flour. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the blondies tender.
7. Add Dark Chocolate:
- Fold in the chopped dark chocolate pieces until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour into Prepared Pan:
- Pour and spread the blondie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
9. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
10. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the blondies out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Make sure to melt the white chocolate and butter together slowly on low heat to avoid burning.
- Allow the melted chocolate and butter mixture to cool slightly before adding the eggs to prevent curdling.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients to avoid overmixing, which can result in a dense blondie.
- For an extra festive touch, add a few crushed candy cane pieces on top of the batter before baking.
- Keep a close eye on the blondies during the last few minutes of baking to ensure they don’t overcook and become dry.
- Allow the blondies to cool completely before cutting to ensure they hold their shape.
And there you have it – a batch of scrumptious Candy Cane and Choc Chip Blondies! These treats are a delightful blend of creamy white chocolate, rich dark chocolate, and refreshing candy cane pieces that will undoubtedly add a festive touch to your holiday celebrations. Enjoy!
