Typically, brownies are just chocolate with nuts sometimes mixed into the batter. But this takes the fudgie brownie to a different level with white chocolate and bits of dried fruit.

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 9

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 8 ounces white chocolate
• ¾ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup dried blueberries, or more as desired
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries or dried cherries, or more as desired

1. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a double boiler over just-simmering water. When melted, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter an 8-inch or 9-inch cake pan.

3. Beat together the sugar and egg until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla.

4. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and beat with the sugar mixture until just incorporated.

5. Stir in the butter-chocolate mixture gently and the 2 different berries until just incorporated. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.

6. Bake the blondies for about 25 minutes or until the center feels firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack before slicing.
