Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time. I like to brown the butter first but it’s not necessary.

Stir in the flour and baking soda just until combined.  Stir in the pecans. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.

Pink Hot Chocolate

This was tasty and very pretty! I didn't have any big marshmallows to cut hearts out of, but I did have a box of Lucky Charms! I picked out the hearts.

It would also add a nice cherry flavour to your drink.
