Our worker squirrels promise us that nothing finishes off a perfect dinner like a gooey, sugary, chocolatey cookie. Where they’re cooking this dinner and what they’re making, we have no idea. They keep bragging, but they never share their leftovers.
Lucky, they will share the recipe. We believe there is always something we can do to make a dessert classic better. In this case our classically trained squirrel chefs have taken the classic blondie and turned it into something so much better, they ate the first three batches before telling us about them.
Since then, we’ve put cameras in the kitchen, allowing us to confirm that yes, our Dark Chocolate Cashew Blondies are in fact addictively delicious. The brown sugar, dark chocolate, cashews and vanilla pair together to create a scrumptious soft cookie with just the right amount of chocolate and crunch. If you’re allergic to chocolate, just substitute our roasted and salted cashews.

- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt

butter, softened - 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs

- 1 cup chopped Nut Kreations Dark Chocolate Cashews
Directions:

- Cool completely before cutting into bars
We’ll be the first to admit, you may not need to store any of these because they’ll be in your stomach. Just in case you hide it from your little squirrels, the best way to store these cookies is to cut them up and layer them in a
