Raspberry Cheesecake Blondies

RASPBERRY SWIRL CHEESECAKE BLONDIES

There aren’t many recipe that get easier than this one. It’s too easy. My mom used to make these every holiday for our entire family, and boy did they go quickly. It’s what she was known for to bring to the table, and she delivered!

This version has a little spin on it though. I added fresh crushed raspberries to the mix. And it’s not difficult. Just has some swirly twirly wrist action and a toothpick involved. You don’t need to be an Art major to get this one right. No judgement here.

It’s even better to have with some Cajun Iced Coffee Milk!
