Brown Butter Blondies

Monday, February 11, 2013

I tend to become utterly engrossed in things I love. That is how I've ended up hoarding cookbooks, dreaming of Yankees season tickets, living in New York City, and, of course, writing and baking for this blog. One of my current obsessions is browned butter. I've tried not to overwhelm all of you with it, but it's been popping up on BoB rather frequently.

I realize the term "leftover Halloween candy" may be confusing to some. Strangely enough, there are people who have enough restraint not to shut down the candy-giving early and polish off the candy bowl in private. If you're one of the few with that kind of will power, then you can put it to a little different use by baking it into these blondies.

Brown sugar is one of my favorite baking ingredients. Everything is way behind chocolate on that list, but brown sugar is pretty close to the top. Combine that with how much I like baking bars, and you get these beauties. I've lamented before that cashews often get overlooked in baking. (If you agree, check out this or maybe this.) What better complement to all that brown sugar goodness than a big helping of cashews? Continue reading Brown Sugar Cashew Blondies.

I have always adored traditional German chocolate cake. My mother used to bake one for me for special occasions and for some ordinary days, too. Of course, the very best part is the frosting. I'm not even sure I need the cake. Just give me a little bowl of frosting, and I could be happy as can be. With these blondies, we have all the components of that fantastic frosting. Pecans, coconut, brown sugar, and butter come together to make a pan full of bars very reminiscent of my childhood love. Plus, I threw in some chocolate chips for good measure.
