Ingredients
- 200g Co-op unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
- 250g Co-op Fairtrade white chocolate, roughly chopped
- 200g Co-op Fairtrade light brown soft sugar
- 3 large Co-op British eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp Co-op smooth peanut butter 200g gluten free plain flour
- 20g roasted and salted peanuts, finely chopped
- You will also need a piping bag
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4
- Grease and line a 28cm x 18cm x 5cm baking tray with greaseproof paper
- Melt the butter and 200g of the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water
- Remove from the heat and mix in the sugar until smooth
- Add the eggs, vanilla and peanut butter, and mix again
- Sift in the flour and whisk until smooth
- Pour into the prepared baking tray and sprinkle the peanuts on top
- Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 25-30 mins, until a thin crust has formed and the blondie is almost set in the middle
- Leave to cool fully in the tin. Take care not to overcook or you will lose the gooey middle — the blondies will firm up more once cooled
- Cut the blondie into 24 squares
- Microwave the remaining white chocolate in 15-second bursts, until melted and smooth
- Fill the piping bag and pipe a white chocolate cross on top of each square
- Leave to set for an hour before serving
