Blondies are a buttery, slightly butterscotch flavoured version of a brownie. These dense, chewy and delicious golden squares with the tart sweetness of local rhubarb are the ideal host for a scoop of real vanilla ice cream or enjoyed on their own as a midday treat. No matter how you serve them, we guarantee they won’t last! This is one of 15 exceptional recipes found in the 2021 Milk Calendar.

- StepIn a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- StepIn a saucepan, combine sugar and butter over medium heat and stir until butter is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture, rhubarb and white chocolate until blended.

Notes
For a more tart rhubarb flavour and denser blondie, increase the amount of rhubarb to 1 cup (250 mL). You can also substitute diced, tart apple (Granny Smith, Idared, McIntosh, Empire or Crispin are all grown in Canada) for the rhubarb in the recipe, or for a brighter red colour, use local raspberries, strawberries or cranberries.
