Description
These White Chocolate Hazelnut Blondies with Kinder Happy Hippos are rich, gooey, and irresistibly indulgent. A buttery white chocolate base swirled with hazelnut cream and dark chocolate chips creates the perfect texture, while the Kinder Happy Hippos on top add a whimsical touch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 1 cup granulated sugar (superfine or caster sugar preferred)
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons dark chocolate chips or finely chopped dark chocolate
- 4 tablespoons hazelnut creme or hazelnut spread
- 5 Kinder Happy Hippos (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter and white chocolate over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until fully combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, folding just until combined.
- Stir in dark chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Add dollops of hazelnut cream on top and swirl gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
- Place Kinder Happy Hippos on top, pressing them lightly into the batter.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool before slicing into 12 squares and serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Feel free to substitute with other types of chocolate or spreads based on your preference.
