Middle of the week is here! Whoooo Hooooo!! The time is going by so fast – Valentine’s day is almost here! Today is the cut off day for the Grill Charm giveaway – be sure to get your name in.
I have been dying to make these Butterscotch Blondies for a while now. I have had a few requests and have seen them around the food blogs everywhere so I decided to take the plunge.
The result? Very successful! I chose the recipe from one of my favorite food blogs – smitten kitchen. They seemed so easy – I was actually surprised just how easy they actually were.
Here is the lowdown on how to make ‘em.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup butter (melted)
- 1 Cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 Tsp. vanilla
- 3/4 Cup butterscotch chips
- Pinch salt
- 1 Cup all-purpose flour
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 Degrees°F.
- Butter an 8×8 pan.
- Mix melted butter with brown sugar – beat until smooth.
- Beat in egg and then vanilla.
- Add salt, stir in flour.
- Add butterscotch chips – stir together.
- Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake 20-25 minutes, or until set in the middle.
- Cool on rack before cutting them.
- ENJOY!
Zesty Tip: When preparing your pan for brownies/blondies such as these, be sure to select a light-colored, shiny pan, which will conduct heat evenly. Glass or dark-colored pans can cause the edges to over bake or even burn. Always grease the pan thoroughly with shortening, softened butter, or cooking spray (do this even if the recipe doesn’t specify).
Question of the day: What is your favorite addition to the traditional blondie?
I hope you have a great Wednesday!
Take care
zesty

OH MY GOD. I seriously just drooled. Those look unbelievable! When I make blondies, I like adding maple frosting.
As you know, I’m a blondie FANATIC (have tons of recipes on my blog for them), so this makes me happy
omg, so decadent. delish!
ohhh…those looks so good! blondies for me def have to have walnuts…i don’t care the flavors!!
These blondies are beautiful! I love the rich caramel color they have!
YUM!
I hope you plan on mailing me these
They look amazing!!
I love butterscotch and chocolate chips together, so I like to do a mix of both.
I need to make these, pronto!
Thanks everyone!
@Brandi – I may try a combo of chips next time.
Between you and VeggieGirl, we’re all going to be in “Blondie” heaven. Who can resist?!!!
I get creative with my add ins – I’ve done trail mix, chopped candy bars (post-Halloween blondies are always fun!), crushed pretzels. For great color, I’ve put sprinkles on top before baking.
Yay for blondes!!
Those look SOOOO GOOEY!!!
I want one! I think I have to make these!
i’ve never ever had a blondie… does it have more of a vanilla taste?
Mmmm, blondies. I like adding brownies to them. Layered or swirled. That’s some good stuff there.
Zesty,
You know that I adore you and am 100% in support of you, but I am sending you a virtual SMACK.
ARTIFICAL VANILLA? {my tongue just tried to crawl into my throat to get away) GACK.
REAL. It will change your life. I’m just sayin’.
Take your virtual smack and then come into the light, K.
Ohhh heaven! You know, I’ve never made blondies before. I’ve always wanted to thanks to bloggers like VeggieGirl, who has an infamous array of blondie recipes. These sound completely doable and look oh-so-delicious, Zestman!! Love ‘em
Thanks for showing me how it’s done!
Those look absolutely wonderful!!!
Oh, how could you use artificial vanilla! That’s like, baking blasphemy!
I’ve made a really great coconut pecan blondie, and I think white chocolate is another obvious add in for blondies. Mmmm.
really easy recipe, but I’m sure it taste fabulous! I might make them for my V-day’s buddies!
This sounds divine! Yummy!
I love anything to do with butterscotch!

These look great! I only ever buy self rising flour, and I thought most recipes that call for plain or all purpose just call for baking powder and salt or something like that, but since this one doesn’t, do you think it would work with my self rising flour or would they puff up too much?? I have all the other ingredients already and wanted to try them out, just wondering!! THANKS!
What beautuful pics! I can smell the blondies from here!
Gorgeous pictures, and they look delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Holy freaking YUM! I want one now. Like, immediately, please!
Those look so good! I need to get butterscotch chips for this though.. hmm..
Oh my, these looks absolutely gorgeous! I will probably add some peanut butter into it and then serve it with some vanilla ice cream. Yum!
all i have for these is a glass pan, do you think that that will fail miserably? these look delish, i wanted to make some for my friends tommorrow…
Those butterscotch blondies look so good!
those blondies are mouthwatering… i might have to whip some up
hope you’re having a great night, zesty!
these look so good! I also made some this past weekend – I posted the recipe on my blog, except mine were Butterscotch Banana Blondies
thanks for the email back! i lined a glass casserole pan with foil and greased it, and ended up cooking them closer to the 25 minute mark. They taste pretty good, arent burnt on the outside. Theyre a little gooey on the inside but definitely set up. Ive never had blondies before, so I am unsure if that is how theyre supposed to be. I have to say, they are SUPER easy to make though. And if they pass the “friends” test, then this goes in the recipe book.
I tried these today and loved it! Baked them just now to bring to a relative’s who have invited us for lunch. Can’t wait to see what they think
@nags – I am so glad you liked them. They are super easy to make too! I hope your relatives like them.
zesty
Yum! That’s all I have to say!
i’m going home tonight and making these! i think i too will do the combo with choco chips! i can’t wait to send these to my really good friend in chicago!
thank you for the recipe!
I know this is an old post, but I just made these bad boys with additional mini chocolate chips and some chopped up walnuts
@ Alice – Did you like them? How did they turn out with the walnuts in them?
They look so dense! I like adding nuts to mine – macadamia or even cashews.
I am adding these to the Thanksgiving baked goodies list! YUM!
