Macadamia 'Blondies'

This recipe is for my friend, whom we visited yesterday afternoon.  It was given to me a while ago by another friend.

I took along a batch of these brownies, which turned out to be more like 'blondies' when I had changed the dark chocolate for milk chocolate.  I guess you could also try using white chocolate as a substitute.


Yes, they're squishy in the middle and terribly 'moreish'.  I warn you, a plate of these can disappear VERY quickly!

185g butter
185g dark chocolate (or milk, as I've done here) ... and GOOD QUALITY is a must or it's all too wet.
3 large eggs
250g caster sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
115g plain flour
pinch of salt
1/4 cup macadamias (or choc bits, other nuts)

Melt the butter and chocolate gently in a double boiler, then set aside to cool.
Beat eggs and vanilla, gradually adding sugar until light and frothy.
Gently stir in cooled chocolate mixture, then fold in sifted flour and salt.
Pour into a lined lamington tray, and cook at 180degC for 20-25mins.  It'll form a meringue like crust on the top and stay soft in the middle.

Thank you for dropping by!
