Ingredients
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
1 cup granulated sugar (superfine or caster sugar preferred)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons dark chocolate chips or finely chopped dark chocolate
4 tablespoons hazelnut creme or hazelnut spread
5 Kinder Happy Hippos (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter and white chocolate over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until fully combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, folding just until combined.
- Stir in dark chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Add dollops of hazelnut cream on top and swirl gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
- Place Kinder Happy Hippos on top, pressing them lightly into the batter.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool before slicing into 12 squares and serving.
Notes
Swap hazelnut spread with Nutella or peanut butter for variation.
Add chopped hazelnuts for extra crunch and flavor.
Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to make these blondies gluten-free.
Do not overbake — a slightly gooey center keeps them soft and chewy.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week.
