Does this ever happen to you? You’re in the kitchen, adding a cup of this and a tablespoon of that to your mixing bowl, when all of a sudden you’re thinking about somebody, solely because of the ingredients you’re using?

This happens to me all the time. So many delicious tastes and smells are connected to memories of special people or events in my life. And each time I make these Triple Chocolate Coconut Blondies, I can’t help but think of Mom. She is crazy for anything where she can enjoy the flavors of coconut and chocolate together in one bite!

I might call 2016 the year of the blondies at our house. While I’ve always been more of a brownies kind of girl, playing with different versions of blondies this past year has been a new and fun adventure. And I think that much of the fascination comes from the simple act of combining butter with brown sugar, much like the flavor base of a chocolate chip cookie. When baking in the oven, this combination of ingredients fills the house with the aroma of warmth and comfort.

When I want to add a little extra butter love to my recipes, I reach for Land O Lakes® European Style Butter. Made with fresh cream and churned for a higher milk fat content, its creamier texture and richer flavor adds a special touch. I knew this butter would take my triple chocolate coconut blondies to a whole new level.

Tip: With the holidays coming up, treat yourself and your guests to this European style butter. It’s pretty amazing on warm, fresh baked breads and rolls. I usually only buy unsalted butter, but in this case, I recommend reaching for the salted version. This butter is all those rolls will need!

If you like coconut, you’re going to love these blondies. I toasted the shredded coconut to give it a little extra flavor depth, and then folded it into the batter. Every bite of these sweet treats has definite coconut flavor and texture.

And then for the triple play of chocolate. Semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped white chocolate bar are folded into the batter, and then a bit more is tossed over the top. The final touch is a sprinkling of cacao nibs, which add little bits of crunchy, intense chocolate flavor. It’s fun to play with different chocolates, and this trio is a great one.

The holidays are coming up fast, with plenty of opportunities to gather with friends and family. And sweet treats are a must. Bake up a pan of these triple chocolate coconut blondies to share with those you love.
