Strawberry Blondies Recipe
Ingredients
Blondies
- 8 ounces white chocolate broken into chunks
- ½ cup unsalted butter use vegetable shortening for hot weather care packages
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jello powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Decorating
- 1 cup melting chocolate
- ½ cup white melting chocolate
- 1 drop pink or red food coloring gel
Instructions
Blondies
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Coat 3 mini muffin pans with nonstick spray.
- Place white chocolate and butter/shortening in medium sized microwave safe bowl. Heat in microwave 1 minute at medium power. Stir. If not completely melted, return to microwave for 10 second intervals, stirring between heating, until completely melted and combined.
- In bowl of electric mixer, beat eggs until foamy (about 3 minutes).
- Mix in sugar, jello powder, vanilla, and melted white chocolate.
- Add flour and salt and stir until incorporated.
- Stir in mini chocolate chips.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter for each mini muffin into prepared pans.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. If mailing internationally, undercook by about 1 minute. (The extra moisture from undercooking will help keep the blondies soft while shipping.)
- Cool for 5 minutes in pan. Loosen the edges of the blondie bites with the tip of a knife if necessary, then remove from pan to complete cooling on a wire rack. If the blondies don’t hold together allow another few minutes of cooling. Do not let the blondies cool completely in the pan or they will stick.
Decorating
- Once the blondie bites have cooled completely they can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or decorated with melted chocolate. To decorate with chocolate, melt the dark chocolate and, using a knife or spoon, spread onto each blondie bite. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes until set and firm.
- Melt the white melting chocolate in the microwave at medium power for 30 seconds. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Add one drop of food coloring gel and mix until the chocolate is uniformly pink.
- Drizzle the pink chocolate onto the brownie bites with a spoon or from a plastic bag with a tiny bit of a bottom corner cut off. Refrigerate 5-10 minutes again to set the chocolate drizzle.
- Blondies bites can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container between layers of wax paper for 2 weeks.
Notes
- Wrap pairs of blondie bites in a stack, in foil, then double wrap in plastic wrap before storing in an airtight container or zip lock bag.
- If mailing chocolate coated blondie bites in cool temperatures, wrap pairs of blondie bites in waxed paper before following the above packing directions.

Beautiful photography!

Thanks, Lolly! I feel like photography is the greatest challenge in food blogging. We eat with our eyes first so the photos have to be as appealing as the food! I have a lot to learn, so I really appreciate the encouragement!

White chocolate AND strawberry! These sound fantastic. I am also passing along a link to "the Church ladies" who host a mother/daughter high tea at our church every summer. They are so pretty and would make a great addition to the dessert trays!

Thanks, Maureen! Oh, I think these blondie bites would be lovely for high tea! Pretty in pink and delicately finger food! 🙂 I hope the Church Ladies enjoy them!
Becca Niederkrom
Wow, these look absolutely scrumptious!!
themondaybox
Thanks, Becca! I think strawberry with chocolate is a natural. Though the blondie is strawberry, there is definitely plenty of chocolate with both the chips and the topping!
