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!

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!
