Chocolate and Berries Blondies

                        Today's recipe is an easy but a delicious one.

             I love recipes that are easy adaptable to one person's likings. 

            In this  one, I used cranberries :), but you can choose raspberries, strawberries, any berries you like or have on hand.

            Same goes for the chocolate, choose what you want. I thought that the white chocolate will complement the cranberries well.

I love burst berries in baked goods!

                These blondies are incredibly fast to put together. I recommend letting them cool though. They are easier to cut and chewier than when warm. But hey, if you can't stop yourself - I say go for it! I did :)
