Blondies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 metal baking pan then line with parchment paper.
- Heat white chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl in 15 second increments, stirring after each to prevent burning until fully melted.

- Add eggs one at a time. Whisk after each addition until incorporated.
- Stir in vanilla.
- Stir in flour and sea salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour batter into baking pan and smooth top with a spatula.
- Drop dollops of strawberry sauce onto blondie batter.
- Gently swirl strawberry sauce into blondie batter with a wooden skewer or butter knife to create a marbled pattern.
- Bake for 17 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center yields a few moist crumbs.
- Remove baking pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, garnish blondies with fresh strawberries.
- Slice and serve.
- Blondies will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
