9×13 Life: Dairy White Chocolate Pretzel Blondies

We subbed half the butter with oil to get the butter flavor with less expense…this is one dairy bar you don’t need lots of new ingredients to make!

There are some recipes in life that I avoid making simply because I love them too much and I would eat too much of them. There’s the Cookies n’ Creme Bars from Dinner Done (ditto for the Lotus Bars). This is another one of those.

But what I do love about this recipe is that it’s just so easy and accessible. You might be making other fancy things this Shavuot, but this is the one that is unintimidating and just good. Plus, you don’t have to  buy lots of ingredients. It’s just one stick of butter and one bar of white chocolate (the second is totally optional and unnecessary…it’s just for looks)…my house is a pretzel house (that’s our main snack), so the pretzels are always there already. 

And, of course, it’s a 9×13.

Combine butter, oil, and brown sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla and mix.

Add flour and salt.

Fold in white chocolate.

Give pretzels a few good bangs. You should end up with a variety of sizes of pretzel crumbs and pretzel pieces.

Fold pretzels into batter.
