Chocolate Butterscotch Blondies

*I’ve been making these Chocolate Butterscotch Blondies for years, and they’re one of my favorite sweet treats! The chewy, rich, sweet, and salty bars are studded with plenty of chocolate and butterscotch chips.*

Organize my bookshelf
Make another batch of these incredible blondies

I have a love-hate relationship with to-do lists. I feel like they get a bad rap (more things to do!) but I actually love writing them. It feels so freeing to get all of the little bits and pieces of thoughts and tasks that are constantly floating around my mind out on paper (or, more likely, onto my phone). And I really love finishing off the last item on the list, completing that final task and knowing that the rest of the day is mine to do with as I wish. But man, actually working my way through each of the tedious tasks and fitting in all of the errands… I’m definitely a much happier girl when my to-do list includes delicious, amazing baked goods!

These chocolate butterscotch blondies are an epic sweet treat. The thick batter (a wonderful mix of butter and brown sugar) is super simple to make, and the resulting bars are perfectly chewy and rich. Don’t forget to add the salt – I especially love that sweet-and-salty combination! I came up with this recipe a few years ago, and have been loving to make these blondies ever since. They’re definitely a favorite among my friends and family – I hope that you enjoy them, too!

I've been making these Chocolate Butterscotch Blondies for years, and they're one of my favorite sweet treats! The chewy, rich, sweet, and salty bars are studded with plenty of chocolate and butterscotch chips.

I’m super tempted to brown the butter the next time that I make these blondies. If you love browned butter (like me) feel free to go ahead!

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips
½ cup butterscotch chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Melt butter in the microwave or a saucepan. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add both sugars and stir to combine. Let cool for a couple minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Add flour mixture to sugar mixture and stir until just combined.
Stir in chocolate and butterscotch chips.
Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about thirty minutes.
