Winter means comfort food, and comfort food to us means this decadent, gluten free blondie recipe. Jam packed with crunchy, honey-glazed macadamias and gooey chocolate chunks, these blondies are nothing short of pure genius.

The macadamias and chocolate offer the perfect twist on a classic blondie. Chewy meets gooey meets crunch. Sweet white chocolate chips combine with deep dark chocolate for a truly blissful combo. 

Blondies are, in essence, brownies without the cocoa powder. That means you want it to come out of the oven seeming a little underdone.

Don’t use the cake method — if your skewer comes out clean, you’ve gone too far. Not to worry — it’s a perfect excuse to make these delicious goodies all over again. Perhaps while listening to Blondie.
