It was a stressful day today... So i thought i'd rustle up something rich, naughty and that would probably give me coronary heart disease in one bite.
I followed the recipe for Belgian Blondies in the "tea with Bea" book.
I've never had these before, but from what i gathered, they're pretty much like white chocolate brownies. But i only like one variety of white chocolate- Green & Blacks. So i had to fork out for this before i could get my hands on them.
Oh, and by the way, i could not BELIEVE how much butter this recipe involved!! Oh well... I guess i can just survive on one slice a week. :(
I think i overdid these on my first try though (forgot to take pictures of the caught sides of the tin)... I got a bit confused, as you set these brownies by leaving them to cool and then shoving in the fridge for 2 hours, so when you take them out of the oven, they're meant to be gooey... so i guess with a little bit of wobble still??
But i got a bit scared as i'm not used to not stabbing everything in sight with a toothpick before i take it out of the oven... Therefore, leaving them in there for a bit too long...
The sides of the batch are still edible though and i conveniently forgot to take pictures of these ones <:D
Anyway, these turned out VERY buttery and VERY rich, and they had a delicious warming from all the vanilla inside the fancy white chocolate- sooooooo tasty but i do feel very guilty after eating a slice...
They kinda reminded me of what shortbread would be like if it was a brownie... (and with more white chocolate)... it had the moreish texture of a soft fudgey brownie and the creaminess of 400 million sticks of butter from 6 billion cows.
All i have to remember for next time is to just trust, and take them out of the goddamn oven earlier!
