Milk Chocolate Blondies

During the snow days a few weeks ago I kept myself busy baking and rearranging all of the artwork at Stone Hill. I wanted to put a spin on a traditional Blondie by adding milk chocolate syrup. They turned out really well.

Mix the first two ingredients in a stand mixer;
1 cup of packed brown sugar

1 stick of butter, melted
Add:

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup flour

large pinch of salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/5 oz of chocolate chips (one bag)

1 cup pecans

1/2 cup of oats

A few drizzles of Hershey's syrup

Spray or grease a 9x9 pan and pour in mixture

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

The best trick to cutting brownies straight is to use a plastic knife when they come straight from the oven. Works every time.

Wishing you a very Happy Valentine's Day. I hope it is sweet!
