CHAMPAGNE BLONDIES

Champagne Blondies image

I was looking for a fun champagne recipe to take to a friend's bridal shower, but I couldn't find one. That's when I came up with this twist on blondies. The recipe calls for white chocolate chips, but sometimes I like to use butterscotch or even chocolate instead. -Heather Karow, Burnett, Wisconsin
