Believe me, you really do want to try these caramel-y, biscuit-y, creamy blondies. Just don’t blame me if you then get addicted to eating Biscoff off a spoon (well OK, you can then …)
I’ve always secretly (or maybe not so secretly) loved dipping biscuits (the English ‘cookie’ kind not the American kind!) into my hot – as hot as possible – cup of tea. It might sound disgusting, but it’s one of us Brits’ dirty secrets.
But ohh, those dipped biccies do taste good! If you pick a good one that soaks up all the hot tea really well and melts into a gooey mess of flavour in your mouth (ginger biscuits work well, as do Digestives, malted milk and custard creams, just in case you ever get the chance to dip an English biscuit in some tea). Honestly, it tastes good, sometimes better than any luxury dessert. Just don’t hold your dipped biccie for too long before stuffing it in your mouth. I have made that mistake many times and ended up with a big splodge of wet biscuit in the bottom of my tea!
I know. Just disgusting. But delicious disgusting. 😉
So now let me ask you something … have you ever tried Biscoff spread? I hadn’t until recently, but I knew that I would like it as I LOVE the taste of dark sugar-y, caramel-y Biscoff biscuits. And this is where all this talk about dipping biscuits in your tea comes in because this biscuit spread (it’s a bit like peanut butter but, well, made of biscuits) that has become rather popular recently reminded me of the best tasting biscuit after it’s been dipped in tea!
Now this spread is absolutely delicious licked right off a spoon (believe me, I’ve ‘tested’ this theory far too many times this week) but it occurred to me that it would taste great in a blondie as well! With some white chocolate chips thrown in for good measure. And of course, it does. The taste of the Biscoff spread is subtle(ish), but there. Just by the taste, if I had to describe the blondies in any other way I’d call them biscuit caramel blondies.
These certainly aren’t going to end up in any diet cook books (they are very sweet, I admit!) but I justified this by cutting the blondies up into pretty small squares.
To be honest, I don’t think it’s the blondies that are the problem. It’s being tempted to dip a spoon into the Biscoff jar every time you’re in the kitchen! 😉
Serves: makes 16
- 70ml/1/3 of a cup oil (I used canola oil but really any is fine)
- 170 grams/6 ounces dark brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 115 grams/4 ounces Biscoff spread (about ½ a cup)
- a pinch of salt
- 130 grams/4.5 ounces flour
- ½ a teaspoon baking powder
- about 100 grams/3.5 ounces chopped white chocolate (increase this amount a bit if you like – about ½ to 1 cup)
- Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with baking paper and pre-heat oven to 180C/350F.
- Pour the oil into a medium bowl and whisk the sugar into it. Add the egg and vanilla and whisk again. Finally, stir in the Biscoff spread.
- Mix in the salt, flour and baking powder. Don’t over-mix.
- Gently fold the chocolate through.
- Tip the mixture into the baking pan (it’ll be quite thick – don’t worry!) and bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer plunged into the centre comes out clean.
- Allow to cool, then slice into 16 squares.

Oh, I love dipping cookies like that too! Although I do biscottis / other crunchy cookies in coffee, usually. Really is so good! I can imagine using biscoff is tasty as well.
The blondies look so good, so rich and chewy 🙂
Hello, June! Oh, I’m happy I’m not the only disgusting one around here! Hope you enjoy your weekend!
These blondies look seriously good! I am too addicted to biscoff (definitely one of my fave spreads!). Love the idea of adding white chocolate chips to these blondies – yummy! 😀
I thought these would be up your street, Jess!! The biscoff goes really really well with the white choc! 😉
Hi Helen, these blondies look extra good, did not know there was a Biscoff spread but if it tastes anything like the cookies, it’s got to be good. Have a great week-end!
Ooh, sorry for introducing it to you, Cheri. You’ll wish I hadn’t because that stuff is addictive!!
These look so good and I love the white chocolate chips.
Thank you so much, Janette! 🙂
Biscoff is evil. Truly evil. I cannot have that stuff near me or else I will eat the whole thing! ALL OF IT! Love these!!!
I KNOW!!! PURE EVIL!!! Sorry about tempting you with these, Mila. I know, I’m very naughty. 😉
Helen, your blondies look seriously decadent! Mmm we would love to dip it in a cup of warm chai tea. Wishing you a sweet weekend!
Hello Judit and Corina! I must admit these are decadent … but definitely worth indulging in. Hope you had a great weekend too!
Just kill me now. I need to be put out of my misery, suffering looking at these without having a real pile of them in front of me.
So the biscuit dunking thing? totally with you. I know you say it’s very English. I beg to differ. Wasn’t it invented in Australia using Tim Tams? Bite of each end. Stick it in tea and suck like a straw. Then quickly shove the WHOLE THING in your mouth.
Heaven 🙂
Ohhh, Tim Tams!!! I know them well! My husband ‘educated’ me thoroughly on this last year and I am now very proficient at Tim Tam biting and sucking. Oh my goodness … never tasted anything as heavenly. I could actually eat a whole pack of those with one cup of tea – that’s the only problem! 😉
OMG, these look gorgeous Helen! Biscoff and white chocolate – awesome idea,(as usual)! And pictures are stunning! I’m getting hungry 🙂
Thank you, Sweet Mira! And thanks for the compliment on the photos, too! 🙂
They look scrumptious! Never thought to use Biscoff in bars. Mmm….
Thank you, Melanie! These really are tasty … a bit sweet, but good for a treat!
I’ve only dipped my cookies into milk before, but the tea actually sounds really good since it will make the cookie all nice and warm. Bit wait, but are english cookies more like shortbread then? Is the chocolate chip cookie an American thing then?
Hi, Cathy! You can buy ‘chocolate chip cookies’ here in packets but all other ‘cookies’ we call ‘biscuits’ if that makes sense!
Whatever they’re called, I promise you they’re great dipped in hot tea. You must try it (oh, the tea must have milk in it too)
I JUST finished my last bag of while chocolate chips…and now I wish I saw this first. This sounds like such an amazing combination!!
Oooh nooo! You’ll just have to buy some more, Cathleen!! 🙂
Biscoff is SO tempting (and yes putting my hands up for someone that eats it by the spoonful-oops!). This is for me another delicious vehicle instead of a spoon to eat it!
Glad I’m not the only one! 🙂
I don’t do nearly enough biscuit dipping! I do love it when they get so soft and soak up all the yummy tea flavor! As much as I love regular chocolate, white chocolate might almost be better! Blondies are the best!
Oh yes, you must change that, Izzy! 🙂
These look incredible. I don’t use white chocolate in my baking enough. Time to change that I think!
Oh no Dannii, you’ll make me feel horribly guilty if you start eating a lot of white chocolate … I wouldn’t feel so bad if you didn’t have a healthy blog, but you do …!! Hope you’re enjoying Thailand!
will you please beg biscoff to make a GF version? I”m dying here! haha. YUM!
Oooh, now that would be great! Sorry to tease you with these, Lindsay!! 🙂
Je te dis un secret Helen, moi aussi j’aime bien mettre mes petits biscuits dans le lait 😉 Ton dessert est une véritable temptation, ça doit être très difficile de résister !
Ils sont tres difficile a resister, Eva! Il en reste encore quelques blondies et ils sont vraiment un tentation! 🙂
These blondies sound fantastic!! I love the that they have white chocolate in them!
Thank you, Kelley! The white choc does go really well! 🙂
I’m a huge chocolate fan, but I really love a good blondie. Biscoff is one of my favorite things to add to a blondie, and it’s perfect with white chocolate! These look so thick and delicious, Helen, and I wish I had one for my sweet tooth right now! 🙂
Oh dear, now you’ve got me wanting one of these again! They certainly satisfy the worst of sweet cravings! 🙂
These sound so amazing, Helen! Biscoff is one of my favorites so I can only imagine how delicious these blondies must be, especially with the white chocolate! Yum!
Thanks, Gayle! Sinful, definitely. Delicious, definitely. Glad you like them too!
I like my tea (and coffee!) super hot too! The best. And I definitely have dropped many a cookie into my tea from dipping it too long! haha
These blondies look so good! I haven’t used Biscoff in far too long!
Well, I am actually half regretting buying the Biscoff now (or at least keeping it in the house after making the blondies) as I keep eating big spoonfuls! Glad I’m not the only disgusting one who dips their biccies in their tea!!
I’ve never trusted myself to buy that spread 🙂 It looks so good though! And these blondies … so thick and fudgy and sweet, the ideal blondie. And you Brits have delicious secrets, I’ll give you that!
Ha … thank you! Disgusting secrets more like! I fully recommend you NOT to buy that spread, then … it’s lethal stuff to have in your cupboard, that’s for sure!
