Blondies

Preparation time: 15-20 minutes

Cooking time: 25-30 minutes

Makes: Around 12 squares

These white chocolate blondies are beautifully soft and fluffy and is filled with dark chocolate chips. Very easy to make and perfect for all the family to enjoy




Ingredients

115g White chocolate

100g Dark chocolate chips

115g Margarine

3 Eggs

200g Soft light brown sugar

1tsp Vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

150g Plain flour

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C/Gas mark 4 and lightly grease a 33 x 23cm/13 x 9 inch rectangular cake tin with butter or margarine.

2. Break your chocolate into a bowl. TIP: Hit your chocolate on the side of your worktop to break the chocolate up, then all you need to do is open the wrapper and pour it in the bowl. Add your margarine to the bowl. TIP: Use a knife to add your margarine instead of a spoon as it is easier. You can either melt it on a pan or in the microwave. TIP: I would use a microwave as its quicker and less cleaning up. When your chocolate has melted leave it to one side to cool down to room temperature.

3. In another bowl beat your sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and salt together until creamy.When your mixture is all creamy check to see if your chocolate is at room temperature, if it is pour it into your mixture. FACT: If you put your chocolate in whilst its too warm it can curdle the egg.

4. Using a metal spoon carefully fold and stir in the chocolate to your mixture. When that's done add a little bit of your flour to the mixture at a time and keep folding and stirring it in. When all your flour is mixed in add your dark chocolate chips and gently stir in.

5. Pour all your mixture into your rectangular cake tin and spread evenly with a metal spoon. Bake in the oven for around 30 minutes until it has just set. When it has cooked remove from the oven and place aside to completely cool.

6. Run a round bladed knife round the edge of the baking tin and invert (turn upside down) onto a baking sheet. Place another baking sheet on top of the brownies and invert again do they're the right way up. Cut into squares or bars for serving and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

A beautiful lemon ball coated in white chocolate, topped with lemon zest

Ingredients

200g Lemon puff biscuits
20g Butter (melted)
200g White chocolate
Lemon zest for topping

Method:

1. Line a baking tray/dinner tray with greaseproof paper. Crush the lemon biscuits in a food processor.

Mix with hands until fully combined.

2. Scoop a tablespoon of mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture has gone. Place into the freezer for around 10 minutes.

3. Melt the chocolate either in the microwave or over the pan. Take the balls out of the freezer and dunk one ball into the chocolate bowl at a time. Using two forks, coat the balls with the chocolate then lift the ball up onto one fork and gently shake it to drain the excess chocolate. Repeat this process until all the balls are coated. Sprinkle the lemon zest on top. Place into the fridge for about 10-15 minutes.
