Pat Souza Bakes Her Chocolately Cranberry Blondies

Tiverton's Pat Souza creates these delicious treats called cranberry blondies, a combination of cranberry, vanilla, brown sugar and dark and white chocolate chips. She brought them to the recently.

For them, you will need:

• 1 and 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup of light brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, chopped
• 1/4 cup of semisweet chocolate chips

To start, in a large bowl beat the butter and brown sugar together until smooth. Next, beat in the egg and vanilla extract. On low speed with the electric beater, add in the flour, 1 cup of the white chocolate chips, the cranberries and salt and mix well.

Pat says to press the mixture evenly into an 8-inch by 8-inch greased pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes or until the center is firm to the touch. Let is cool completely.

Next, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave for 60 seconds or until melted. Take a fork and shake the melted chips over the top of the brownies, for decoration.

Pat says to cut the cranberry blondies into squares, and then each square into triangles, and should make about 32 servings.

Enjoy!
