Raspberry White Chocolate Blondies

These are amazing!! The first time I made them, the pan didn't last through the end of the day. So yummy. I've had to adjust the cooking time/temp a little. The edges seem to cook really quickly while the center is still uncooked, so i've lowered the temp a little, i've also covered it loosely with foil before to keep it from browning too much. Just watch it, and adjust accordingly(it may must be my oven). Also, i've never used the sanding sugar, I think its kind of expensive. So I will sometimes just sprinkle a little bit of regular sugar on top. But I think its fine without any sugar on it too. I've also made it with blueberries when I didn't have raspberries. They were good too, but I think the raspberries are better.
Enjoy!
