It’s time for holiday baking. My favorite holiday desserts have chocolate and peppermint, like these White Chocolate Peppermint Blondies. This dessert recipe makes 24 servings so it’s perfect for entertaining.
Peppermint White Chocolate Blondies
Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming! That means it’s time for baking delicious treats to share with family and friends. One of my favorite things about the holidays is al things peppermint. Peppermint Mocha at Starbucks. Peppermint pie. Peppermint cake. Peppermint cookies. Really, is there a better holiday dessert combination than chocolate and peppermint? Not in my book! We make a White Chocolate Peppermint Pie every Christmas and this year I decided I should add another white chocolate and peppermint dessert to our holiday menu. Hello White Chocolate Peppermint Blondies.
I made everything from scratch, the blondies and the frosting. It’s easy! To make the Blondies you only need 8 simple ingredients, and you probably have all of them in your pantry and refrigerator right now. Well, maybe not the peppermint candies, but you may have some candy canes that you can use.
The frosting is also made with simple ingredients that you probably have on hand too.
It only takes about 20 minutes to prep these delicious Peppermint White Chocolate Blondies, and you can have them ready to serve to guests in under an hour.
Bake time for my Peppermint White Chocolate Blondies is 20 minutes, then you just have to layer on that delicious frosting and sprinkle on some additional crushed peppermint candies. YUM.
This White Chocolate Peppermint Blondies recipe makes 24 servings, each serving is about a 2-3 inch square. I will openly admit that I can easily eat 2 😉
Ready to get baking? Here is my White Chocolate Peppermint Blondies recipe. Be sure to Print It and Pin It so you can make them several times this holiday season…and beyond.

Notes
Nutrition
I hope you enjoy these White Chocolate Peppermint Blondies as much as we do!
They are best with a tall glass of really cold milk, but if you are like me and enjoy a nice glass of wine with dessert, I recommend pairing my Peppermint White Chocolate Blondies with a nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Do these need to be kept refrigerated? I need to know because I want to ship them.
Good morning! You can store blondies covered in an airtight container up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. You can also freeze up to 3 months. So, you should be just fine for shipping, but let the lucky recipient know to refrigerate upon receipt.
