Brown sugar and vanilla for a caramelised flavoured blondie base, studded with white chocolate, swirled with raspberry jam and baked with jammy dodgers pressed on top. What a mouthful, pun intended.
Total time to make : 45 minutes
Time to prepare : 15 minutes
Time to bake : 30 minutes
Servings : 20
Ingredients
180g butter, room temperature
340g light brown sugar
2 eggs
250g plain flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla essence or paste
250g white chocolate chunks or chips
200g raspberry jam
20 full sized jammy dodgers (or use mini ones/a mix of both)
Method
Preheat a fan oven to 175C and line a 13 x 9" baking tin with non stick baking paper
In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar together until combined
Crack in 2 eggs, mixing one at a time, then add the vanilla
Add in the plain flour and salt and fold through until it's just mixed through. Add in the white chocolate chunks or chips and stir again to distribute evenly. It should be a thick, heavy batter
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and use a spatula to spread and level it out. Dollop the raspberry jam randomly over the base and use a knife or fork to swirl it through the batter. Press the jammy dodger biscuits on top (5 along the top, 4 down the side) with a small gap in-between each biscuit to make room for slicing
Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, removing from the oven when the biscuits are golden and the blondie base set around the edges. It might be a little soft in the middle and the jam can make the batter still seem wet/underbaked - but it will firm up once cooled
Wait until blondies are completely cooled (I keep mine in the fridge for at least 2 hours) before using a sharp clean knife to slice

Good to know:
Unlike regular cakes where a 'clean skewer' test is often done to test if they're baked through, brownies and blondies have quite a wet batter so even when they're ready to come out the oven, a skewer won't always come out clean
The wet batter is also why it's best to wait until completely cooled before slicing, otherwise the centre of the blondies will spill out
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days
