Its been a while since I've made a sweet cakey bake with lots of butter and chocolate, white chocolate to be more specific.   At one point, I couldn't remember whether I had made a  White Chocolate Blondie before, but I had  ad found it ridiculously sweet then.  I have to be in the mood for really really sweet things and this was bordering.   I took some Blondies into work and offered them to colleagues.  Some were bewildered at the existence of a white chocolate equivalent of the Dark Chocolate Brownie.  Of course they were amused.   Sadly, a few of them were not keen on the content of the dried fruit and declined my generous offer, but if you want to dive into some of these sweet bites, you can find the recipe below.  I am sharing this with Alphabakes  hosted by Caroline Makes and The More Than Occasional Baker.  The letter this month is W for White Chocolate; and We Should Cocoa devised by Tin and Thyme and hosted this ...

Of course, you can use any dried fruit, but as I had some fresh cranberries left over from the  Vegetarian Centre pie Pie  that I decided to throw them into the flapjack oaty mixture.  I loved how the fresh cranberries burst.  It was not only zingy and sweet, it also had a bit of jamminess about them.   I    should've sprinkled the flapjacks with a  little dessicated coconuts for the snowflake effect, but I think a Santa in the picture is enough of a statement that this is a recipe for the festivities. I also made some individual vegan Gingerbread People Cakes And some some vegan Oreo Wreaths  for the nephews and nieces as they were popular the last time I made them.  I am sharing these Oreo Wreaths with Treat Petite: Red and Green .  F...
