Spiced Orange Blondies blend sweet orange, ginger and white chocolate in a chewy, baked treat. One of dozens of sweet treats for #SpringSweetsWeek!
Special thanks go out to our sponsors for the samples and inspiration for #SpringSweetsWeek! For these blondies I used deliciously sweet cara cara and blood oranges from Melissa’s, crystalized ginger from Selefina spices, vanilla bean paste from Taylor & Colledge and the square cake pan from Anolon.

Melted butter is a must to get chewy blondies. Softened and creamed in butter results in a texture more like cake.
I love using orange in baked goods. Oranges add a brightness and kind of make my mouth water!
Orange and ginger are perfect together. Adding vanilla draws out the flavor. Of course white chocolate add texture and a burst of swwetness. So good!
