175g plus extra for greasing butter
200g light muscovado sugar
125g golden caster sugar
4 tbsp custard powder
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
250g self-raising flour
salt
15 custard creams

Method

step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and butter and line a 20x30cm tin with baking paper.
step 2
Melt the butter, both sugars and custard powder gently in a large saucepan. When the mixture is smooth and you can’t feel any grains of sugar left, take off the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
step 3
Stir in the eggs, one-by-one, until smooth, followed by the vanilla and flour with ¼ tsp salt. Quickly stir in two-thirds of the broken custard creams followed by the chocolate chunks, and scrape into the tin. Scatter over the remaining biscuit bits and bake for 30 minutes until golden and set on top.
step 4
Cool the blondies in the tin before cutting into bars.
