White Chocolate Brownies

Our oldest loves white chocolate and with the recent extraction of her wisdom teeth, I thought I would try something she would enjoy. We ALL enjoyed them......Annie only had a bite or two. She pretty much stayed with smoothies and more smoothies. I did make one end with pecans and one end without - knew she better not have nuts! These remind me of a yummy blondie with yummy frosting!



White Chocolate Brownies ( adapted from Dining By Fireflies - Charlotte Jr. League)

1/2 cup white chocolate
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups flour, sifted

1/3 cup white chocolate

Preheat oven to 350. For Brownies, melt butter and white chocolate in double boiler ( I used the microwave melting at 1 min intervals) Pour into a large bowl and whisk in eggs then slowly adding sugar; Add flour and vanilla. Fold in nuts; Pour into greased and floured 9 x 13 pan. Bake 28 - 30 minutes. Allow to cool and spread with white chocolate icing.

For Icing - melt butter and white chocolate in top of double boiler ( I used the microwave again). Remove from ehat and beat in powdered sugar, half and half and vanilla. Spread over cooled brownies. Cut into small squares. Yields - 28 small squares
