I’m a winner!
What did I win? Some of Rachel’s Butterscotch Blondies with Salted Chocolate Glaze in an auction that Lauren hosted to benefit Steve’s efforts to raise money for cancer research.
Alright, so maybe all I had to do was offer to spend a lot of money for some blondies. But I still won. And had this package waiting for me at home.
Cute, isn’t it? Almost as cute as what was inside.
These bars feature well-distributed butterscotch chips , white chocolate chips, and nicely chopped nuts. And fudge-like chocolate glaze atop it, which offers a nice split of chocolate, sugar, and cream, makes them even more decadent. But what about the bars themselves?
Perfect. A hint of saltiness, a caramel flavor throughout, and a dense, chewy texture that gives way to a pleasant dissolving characteristic at the very end. The components of the bar blend together perfectly, and they were worth every penny I paid for them in the auction.
Rachel, do you have plans to open a bakery? I think it would be a great service to the world. You already have packaging.
Have you ever won baked goods in an auction? Were they delicious?
Even if you paid for them, looks like a win to me! I've never won baked goods in an auction before, but I love bake sales so I can try out homemade snacks. Yum!
ReplyDeleteA-HA!! I myself bid on these babies several times, lol! They look scrumptious, congrats! :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds lovely! Although you did just have me at butterscotch chips, because they don't exist here!
