One Bowl White Chocolate Blonde Brownie

Two things I love, desserts and white chocolate! Yes, I am one of probably 2 people in the whole world that doesn't really care for chocolate. I know, I am strange. Perhaps I am but these little delights (really nothing "light" about them) are really tasty. The recipe says to remove them from the oven when you insert a toothpick in the middle and it comes out with fudgy crumbs. Although this is not an exact science, I can tell you that it's very important. The brownies may appear to not be fully cooked, but never fear they will still be tasty. You actually want them somewhat gooey so that they remain soft and chewy. I love that these use only one bowl AND no mixer, since Colin tends to be afraid of kitchen machines that make loud noises. Oh and I suppose I should give credit where credit is due - these are courtsey of Kraft Foods website. Enjoy!
