Raspberry Blondies

Ingredients

1 cup dairy-free salted butter, melted

1 ¾ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg, room temperature

1 large egg yolk, room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon almond extract

2 cups all-purpose flour *can be substituted with gluten-free 1:1 baking blend

2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup dairy-free white chocolate chips

½ cup almonds, chopped

1 ½ cups fresh or frozen raspberries

optional: extra white chocolate chips for drizzle

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF degrees and prepare a 9×13-inch pan with non-stick baking spray and parchment paper.

In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment combine the melted butter and sugar on high and mix for 2 minutes.

Add in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and almond extract and mix on high for another 2 minutes.

Mix in the flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.

Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped almonds until just combined.

Gently fold in the fresh or frozen raspberries until just combined. Be careful not to overmix or the raspberries will begin to break apart.

Bake for approx 30-35 minutes or until the edges are a light golden brown and the very center appears just slightly under-baked.

Let fully cool in the baking tray. Once cool remove the raspberry blondies and slice them into 24 servings.

Melt and drizzle white chocolate over the top of the fully cooled blondies if desired. Enjoy!

Store leftover blondies in an airtight container for up to 7 days at room temperature.

“its so funny how hugh dancy went from doing nothing but romcoms to playing will graham.”

bold of you to assume that hannibal is not a romcom as well.

I'm sure this has been said a dozen times already, but it always baffles me when people say "Hannigram isn't canon" , "Hannibal is queerbaiting", "the show should've made them canon" or anything similar to that. I see it less on tumblr, but have seen it elsewhere and it's like, did we watch the same show? Just because they're not making out sloppy style or having intense gay sex on screen doesn't mean they're not into each other?

Like there's a scene where Will straight up asks "is Hannibal in love with me?" and gets a confirming answer. Theres a scene where Hannibal compares them to Achilles and Patroclus. Hannibal turns himself in to the FBI despite being able to escape and he does it for Will! Hannibal is so completely, deeply obsessed with Will because he loves Will. The show makes it explicit time and time again that Hannibal is in love with Will.

And Will is very much into Hannibal as well. I think for Will it might seem less obvious at times, after all, he had a wife and a kid while Hannibal was imprisoned. But ultimately there's a reason why Will chooses to free Hannibal and go with him. They kill the dragon together and Will is the one who says how beautiful it is. Will outright admitted that he wanted to run away with Hannibal, and that want never actually left him.

The show itself coined the term "murder husbands". A character in canon calls Hannibal and Will that. Hannibal refers to himself and Will as Abigail's fathers. They wanted to run away together and be a family. The finale of those two on the cliff embracing and covered in blood is like the most romantic scene ever shown on tv.

Characters do not need to kiss on screen to be canonically in love!

And I think with this show that statement is especially true because of how many times characters *do* kiss and have sex, and it means nothing. Hannibal had sex with Alana as a way to manipulate her and have her blind to what he was doing. He didn't do it out of love. Margot didn't have sex with Will because she was attracted to him. The show displays very obviously that those things don't necessarily equal attraction, and I think it's completely fine that Will and Hannibal never do something like that. Their attraction to each other is still there!

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

Merry Christmas 🩷🎀☃️
