I did something that I haven’t done since the 3rd grade. I got bangs! I’m talking straight across, fringe bangs and I couldn’t love them any more. Picture to come soon on my style blog (unless you’re following me on Instagram… then you’ve already seen it! username: kimberlywyn).
Nothing new here.. besides that I have two weeks off from work and I’m getting a sore throat. Just my luck! I’ve been baking away in the kitchen with all my time off, so get ready for some drool worthy posts.
I made these bars from the gigantic Nutella jars I got from Costco. Those two jars lasted me (and only me!) approximately three months… which I’m sure is much shorter than the average four person family. The cream cheese flavor was a little weak, so I’d up the intensity next time I make them. I’m a huge cream cheese in desserts kinda gal. Recipe from Cookin Canuck.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 cup (12 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

- 2 large eggs
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread)
- 1 egg yolk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13- by 9-inch metal baking pan with foil, with foil edges hanging over the side.
- Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combine. Add white chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- In another bowl, cream together the cream cheese, Nutella and egg yolk.
- Transfer blondie mixture to prepared pan and spread evenly. Drop the Nutella mixture by tablespoonfuls over the blondie mixture. Using a butter knife, swirl in the Nutella mixture.
