Double Chocolate Walnut Blondies.

   Caramely, gooey, crowd-pleasing perfection.  What else is there to say about a blondie?  This is a really basic, really simple recipe that can be jazzed up any way you want.  Add a whole bag of white chocolate chips and 1 Tbsp cinnamon for a nice fall holiday treat, or add pistachios and cardamon for an exotic twist.  I cut this batch into little bite-sized morsels, but feel free to cut them as big as you want!  My husband wouldn't even bother cutting... he would just dig in.

Double Chocolate Walnut Blondies
2 C lightly packed brown sugar
2/3 C butter
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 C dark chocolate chips
1 C white chocolate chips
1 C chopped walnuts

In a large sauce pan heat butter and sugar over medium heat until butter is completely melted and mixture is smooth.  It shouldn't take more than 5 min.  Remove from heat and let cool for 10 min.  Stir in eggs and vanilla.  Add flour, baking powder and baking soda.  Just before the flour is fully incorporated, add chocolate and nuts.  Mix.  Spread into a greased 13x9x2 pan.
Bake at 325 deg F for 30 min.
