BLONDE BROWNIES
From: KellyWA (originally from Linda, 2/17/98)

Found this recipe in an old James Beard cookbook.

1/2 cup butter
5 ounces white chocolate
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans

Melt butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat.

Bake at 325 degrees F for 30 minutes. Do not overbake or they will lose their chewy texture. Remove from pan to a rack to cool. While still slightly warm, cut into squares with a greased knife.

Source: White Cat Popcorn recipe booklet

1/4 cup butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup pecans, toasted
6 cups popcorn, popped
4 cups miniature marshmallows

In a heavy saucepan, put the butter, chocolate and pecans. Cook over a moderate heat until melted, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Pour over the popped corn and marshmallows. Stir well.

Spread on a buttered cookie sheet and refrigerate to cool.

FOR VARIATIONS:
- You may wish to substitute butterscotch morsels or use bitter chocolate.
- White chocolate pieces in place of chips make a pretty white candy which can be colored and molded into shaped cake pans.
- Yogurt candy coating can also be used for a more piquant flavor.
