Kiddo was 2 bites in and announced,
"I will PAY you to make more of these."
Ok. Deal. What do you think I should charge? $2? $10? A promise he'll come home every weekend when he's away at college? A promise that he'll let me choose his bride, her dress, and provide me with at least one granddaughter since my sister & I have all boys and need to buy some pink and tutus?
Yeah, that ought to do it.
The dangerous thing about these bars is...they are SO easy to make. You won't even need your mixer....just a bowl and a spoon.
Now, you will be using Imitation Butter Flavoring.
I know, it sounds a little scary. I'm not asking you to drink it straight up. You'll use a teaspoon. And, if you cut your blondies into 24 squares, you'll only consume 1/24th of a teaspoon in each one. It's totally worth it.
Here's the recipe...you don't even have to pay me.
Salted Butterscotch Blondies
ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 cups dark brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. butter flavoring
1 & 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
3 eggs, lightly beaten
12 ounces butterscotch chips
1/4 tsp. flaky sea salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13" pan. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, pour the butter into a bowl and stir in the sugar, salt, baking powder, vanilla and butter flavoring until combined.
Stir in the flour, and then the lightly beaten eggs. Stir until thoroughly combined. Stir in the butterscotch chips.
