These White Chocolate Lemon Blondies are ridiculously amazing! So easy and delicious! My new favorite!
I am going to tell you that these bars are ridiculous. Honestly one of my new favorites…which is annoying because I feel like I have been saying that a lot lately…
Like if everything is a favorite then nothing’s a favorite, I mean right? You can’t favorite EVERYTHING!
But these really are. A favorite, I mean. Maybe my most favorite…I mean for today.
The unfortunate thing about these bars, though, is that no one else who resides in my home likes lemon baked stuff. But they DO, however like lemonade. And lemon candy. And, oh yeah, raw lemons.
Which basically makes no sense. Except here’s the even MORE annoying thing…I don’t like lemonade. Or lemon candy. Or even lemons, really. But baked goods with lemon? BRANG IT!
So basically my family and I are all backwards lemon weirdos. Anyway. These bars rocked my Sunday afternoon.
White Chocolate Lemon Blondies.
They go together with just a few steps. Love a completely non-complicated dessert!
Just make your batter and add in some white chocolate…
Spread about half of it in a lined pan…
Then grab a whole jar of lemon curd.
Why oh why do they call it curd. It’s annoying and gross sounding.
But it’s delicious.
Drop that by tablespoons all over…
See?
The whole jar, guys.
Then smear the rest of the dough all over the top.
And give it a swirly.
Then bake it up. Let it cool completely before cutting into squares…or even removing it from the pan.
All that curd in there makes it loosey-goosey. So be patient.
Then finally…yes!

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

Seriously delicious! They look so moist and almost fudge-like. I bet they’d be good with lime curd, too!
You have me at lemon!
I never had lemon curd but I’ve stocked up now as I think these are going to be my favorite bars as soon as I make them once!
I just made these bars but substituted lemon pie filling for lemon curd because I couldn’t find any lemon curd at the local store. They were good, but I’m sure they would have been better with the curd. :/
White choco blondies are definitely the best–looks like you’ve still got some summer zest in you, which I love (autumn = too soon! Or I’m in denial). Thank you for sharing this–totally going into my to-do folder!
wow, they look delicious
Loving these!! I adore lemon curd and can’t even begin to imagine how good it must be in these blondies!
Side note – I made your Nutella butter bars last week, but with Biscoff – they were AMAZING!! Everyone loved them 🙂
I cannot wait to make these!! One of my favorite food combo’s is lemon and white chocolate together! These could easily be a favorite of mine too!
White chocolate & lemon is one of my favorite combinations! And these…. with all that lemon curd. HOLY COW!!! YUM!
I was all, “ooh, these sound really good,” and then I saw you put in a whole jar of lemon curd, and I died. I cannot wait to try these. They look amazing.
These sound so good! Lucky for me, everyone in my family likes lemony baked goods.
You had me at lemon curd! Can’t wait to try these soon!
This is so unique! I’d never think to pair lemon and white chocolate. Definitely making this soon 🙂
I was @ a Brit goods shoppe Saturday and almost pick up a jar of Robinson’s curd.
Now I have to go back. 😉
Ohmagahhhhh I love lemon bars and lemon baked goods…just serve these up and I’m done! I want these! And I could eat lemon curd with a spoon. So good.
Oh man, I’d like the whole pan, please! Adding lemon curd is a brilliant idea!
Sorry to sound so blonde but did you mean to say 1/2 C. sugar? I WASN’T SURE WHAT 1.2 SUGAR meant. Can’t wait to make them. I just wanted to verify how much sugar.
Yes! It’s a total typo! Fixed it.. 1/2 cup sugar 🙂
I am blondie obsessed, and these are amazing! Never would have thought of the lemon twist!
Love the simple ingredients. I need these in my life!! 🙂
How much granulated sugar?
Sorry about the typo… it’s 1/2 cup!
These look great! In the recipe it states 1.2 cup granulated sugar. Is it 1/2 cup? Thank you.
Yes, sorry about the typo! It’s 1/2 cup!
These sound totally amazing!! Must make these soon! 🙂
Lemon curd in brownies… you continue to amaze me! It sounds wonderful!
I love any white chocolate and lemon combination… so yummy! Definitely going to have try these 🙂
This looks great, 1.2 cup granulated sugar? Is it 1 1/2 cups?
it’s 1/2 cup! So sorry, total typo!
Never would have thought to try this flavor combination, but it sounds fabulous!! Definitely adding it to my to-try list!
Seriously? My two favorite flavors, lemon & white chocolate, together in a rich blondie? YOU are my favorite 🙂
Oh wow these look amazing! I love lemon cake so I bet these rock. Gonna have to try these!
I’m fairly certain the.boy shares your kid’s taste buds…because he feels similarly about lemon desserts even though I’m passionate about them! But…who says I’d share these with him anyway. Yum. Happening.
I know what you mean, I have a new favorite everyday. Cooking/baking everyday requires A LOT of favorites!
These bars are insane! I love the white chocolate and the lemon together. That sounds like a dreamy combo!
I LOVE some lemon up in my baked goods. These look awesome!
What I don’t get is how you get 25 bars out of a 9×9 pan! They must be teeny tiny…or is that the point?
Well, I cut them small because they are super sweet…but you could easily cut them larger and yield 16-20!
Oh wow these look amazing! I hate when my taste in desserts don’t align with my fiance’s, but then I remember…More for me! You must have the patience of a saint because there is no way I would have been able to let those cool all the way before cutting a slice!
I love white choc chip blondies! I make them usually with coconut. I would LOVE the addition of lemon. I love those big hunks of curd before you swirled them. MMMmmmm! 🙂
Oh girl these are so gorgeous!! Drooling over here 🙂
White chocolate and lemon are fabulous together! Loving this recipe!
