As promised here is my favorite go to recipe for a treat! Now I realize many of us are on our 2014 Diet….so cut them into bite size pieces. A day should not be complete without a sweet! The Blondies shown in the picture were without the Baking Soda so they are gooier.  They will be less gooey if you add the Baking Soda but I like them this way with Vanilla Ice Cream.  Then if they last long enough you can put them in the refrigerator and the chocolate hardens which gives you another dimension for tomorrow!

Blondies

Butter or Cooking Spray whichever you prefer a 13 x 9 inch ceramic baking dish.

2 sticks of butter room temperature

1 cup dark brown sugar

1 cup light brown sugar

½ t salt

1 t vanilla

2 cups flour

1T Espresso powder

2 eggs room temperature

1 cup Toffee chips

1 cup Chocolate chips

1 T molassas  (optional)

(For a lighter blondie add 1 tsp baking soda

Whip 2 sticks of butter with 1 cup dark brown sugar and 1 cup light brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the molassas (optional) vanilla, salt and espresso powder.

Put the flour in a bowl (and if you prefer a lighter blondie add the baking soda at this time and toss it with all the chips (you can use whatever kinds of chips you like – I even break up Heath bars and put them in instead of the Toffee chips.

Add the two bowls together mix just until blended.

Bake for 25 – 30 minutes at 350. Don’t be tempted to over bake them. Bake them until just barely set in the middle.
