I know friends…it’s a mouthful isn’t it? Brown Butter Cranberry White Chocolate Pecan Blondies. I’m sorry, but I just couldn’t leave anything out! It just wouldn’t be right. All the ingredients play an integral part in how deliciously irresistible and quintessentially fall these bars really are. I truly don’t like to say anything I make is “the best” because as I’ve said before, I like you guys to be the judge. But I’m just sayin’, for me, these blondies are all it! Dare I say, “I guarantee you’re going to LOVE these?” I dare.
I mean, come on friends, they’re brown butter blondies. Enough said in my book! Is it terrible to say I could drink the brown butter right from the pot?? Well, I said it! That toasted, nutty flavor gets me every time. It’s the perfect way to take these blondies up a notch! And of course to make it scream fall, I had to add some cranberries and pecans. And to keep them totally blonde I went with some white chocolate chunks! BOOM!
I hope you enjoy these blondies as much as I do friends! Have a wonderful weekend! Go out and enjoy all that fall has to offer, and I’ll see you back at the BHK on Monday.
