I love desserts like this!  They are easy to make but are so tasty and look so appealing too.

blondies

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 cup flour

2/3 cup white chocolate chips

1/3 cup pecans or walnuts

Maple Butter Sauce

3/4 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup brown sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened

toppings

vanilla ice cream

1/4 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped

1  Heat oven to 350.

2  For the blondies, mix together melted butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until well combined.  Stir in baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour until well blended.  Fold in white chocolate chips and nuts.

3  Pour batter into a greased 9 x 9″ pan.  Bake 20 – 25 minutes.

4  For the Maple Butter Sauce, over low heat combine maple syrup and butter and cook until butter is melted.  Add brown sugar and cream cheese and stir constantly until cream cheese is melted.

5  When blondies are done baking, cut into squares, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with Maple Butter Sauce and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
