GBBO finalist Miranda Gore Browne is helping raise funds for Dream Tea, who fulfil the dreams of children living with serious or life-limiting conditions. Here’s one of Miranda’s favourite tea time treats, her Butterscotch Walnut Blondies. A lovely alternative to a brownie, the Blondies are packed with white chocolate, walnuts and brown sugar, and are a quick and simple traybake to make as a delicious tea-time treat. The fudge bakes to create delicious butterscotch morsels that are moreishly good in every mouthful.
