White chocolate is not everyone’s cup of tea. Even if you like chocolate, chances are you despise the white chocolate – the milky flavor and sweetness is a tad too much for some people to handle I guess. As far as I am concerned I am neutral about it. I definitely like my regular chocolate much more but I don’t hate the white one either. But even if you hate white chocolate you are gonna loves these blondies, the major reason behind it is the macademia nuts.
The macadamia nuts and white chocolate go so well together in these soft and chewy blondies – the sweetness of the white chocolate is balanced out by the crunchy macadamia nuts. The added nutella brings in a hint of hazelnut chocolate, which you will fall in love with if you are a nutella fan like me.
