Butterscotch Blondies

Hello everybody! Yesterday was a rather gloomy day outside so, I went on a baking adventure of course! My husband made me make brownies OUT OF A BOX the other day so I was trying to think of some way to redeem myself when I came across a recipe for butterscotch blondies. They are similar to brownies only not brown and not chocolate. How are they anything like brownies then you ask? Well they have a similar texture and they...well...I guess that's about it. Lol. And for once I had all the ingredients! This made for a happy Kayla.

The recipe called for:

  1. 1 stick of butter
  2.  2 cups of brown sugar
  3. 1 cup of cream
  4. 2 tsp vanilla
  5. 2 tbs dark rum(We didn't have any so I used Disaronno)
  6. 1 tsp salt
  7. 2 cups flour
  8. 1 tsp baking powder
  9. 2 eggs
  10. Chocolate chips(Optional)

Now the first thing you do is melt your butter over med heat. Meanwhile whisk together your flour and baking powder in a large bowl and set aside for later. By now your butter should be all melted so you add in the brown sugar and stir a little until the sugar dissolves and it becomes bubbly like molten lava. Once you have reached this point turn down your heat to med low and add in your cream. It will bubble up, this is normal, give it a few good stirs and then whisk away until it becomes smooth and slightly thickened. This can take up to ten min. Now get out your bowl of dry ingredients and pour the butterscotch syrup into the bowl. Stir/whisk until the ingredients come together and then add your eggs. (This is also where you would add your chocolate chips if using any.) Keep mixing until the mixture forms ribbons. You are now ready to pour your mixture into a greased 9 in pan and bake at 350 on the center rack for 15-18 min. Let cool, then devour!


Hope you enjoyed this post and let us know what you think about it! Happy baking!
