These blondies could not be easier to make. They take less than ten minutes to put together but look like you spent all afternoon in the kitchen. Baking the crushed candy canes in the oven results in a beautiful red and white swirled design on top. The insides are soft and rich while the top is slightly crunchy and bursting with peppermint flavor. If you don't have any bread flour on hand, you can definitely substitute all-purpose flour- using bread flour only yields a brownie that's slight chewier.
