I think we can all agree that no one is counting calories at the minute. I’m trying to fill my time and decided to try blondies (the chewy caramely cousin of the brownie).
This is based on a Simply Recipes version, they used white chocolate chips. I didn’t have these, so I improvised my chopping up orange flavoured chocolate (if the manufacturer would like to send me some samples that would be great, just saying)
You can also use chopped nuts or even cubes of apple. These freeze well, but realistically won’t last long enough.
FYI, your kitchen will smell amazing.
