Brownies and Blondies

July 8, 2008 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 37 Comments

This week I have been doing some baking. My slices turned out really well so I thought I would share the recipes.

Choc-Caramel Brownies

Makes 12-20

175g butter, chopped
200g dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 ⅔ cup plain flour
200g jersey caramels, chopped 

Grease 20 × 30cm lamington tin; line base and two long sides with baking paper. Melt butter and chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir in sugar, eggs, sifted flour and jersey caramels: mix well. Spread mixture into prepared tin. Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes or until firm to touch. Leave to cool. To serve, cut into rectangles and serve warm or cold.

Blondies

Makes 12-20

125g butter
100g white chocolate, chopped
1 cup self raising flour
½ cup plain flour
½ cup caster sugar
¼ brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Grease 19 × 29cm rectangular tin; base and two long sides with baking paper. Place butter and chocolate in a saucepan; Stir over low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Sift flours and sugars in a large bowl. Stir in chocolate mixture and eggs: mix well. Spread mixture into prepared tin. Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes or until skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool. Cut into squares.

In my Blondies I added some m’n’m baking bits for a change.

Both of these slices are really quick, easy and yummy recipes.

    Sarah – love the recipes … however, you lost me when you started using grams. Cups, teaspoonos, etc…I understand. Oh Well! They look marvelous anyway!

    We recently went to a friends house for dinner – after the main course a huge plate of brownies and blondies were brought out and my husband and I began stuffing our face with them. Imagine our surprise when the ‘real’ desert was brought out to the table and we had to eat that too. We went home feeling unnaturally full. Although my vote went to the blondie over the brownie …. hum if only I had some now to scoff!!
