BANANA WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIE

Q. When is a brownie not a brownie? A. When it is a blondie!  In this case it is a blondie chock full of bananas and white chocolate.  If you like banana cake or banana muffins, then you are going to love this delectable, flavoursome, blondie.  So easy to make in the CC and even easier to eat.  The banana chips on top are a lovely addition, giving this morsel a banana boost and a little bit of crunch.
