White Brownies with Mandarins

With the sun shining and not really needing any comfort food, I decided to vary the classic brownie recipe. I didnt’ use any dark chocolate but white chocolate! And a some mandarine pieces for a fresh taste.
These white brownies are very moist - exactly how I wanted them.
They are incredibly delicious and a really good change to regular brownies. 
And no worries about the paradox of the name - you ll forget about it when tasting them!
With those brownies as a good food base I am now getting ready to go out with one of my girlfriends. I m looking forward to a fun beginning to the weekend!

Enjoy those white brownies and have great Friday night,

I really like those white brownies with mandarins when refrigerated. But it really depends on your taste. If you leave them outside they will be softer. 
No worries - they will definitely gone soon either way!
