Y’all will have to excuse my brevity today. The manuscript for the book is due in about 2 weeks and I am madly finishing things up to get it to my editor on time. But, I couldn’t leave you without a recipe this week. These ooey, gooey Butterscotch Blondies don’t last very long at our house. And put some vanilla ice cream on one of these puppies… oooo you betta shut yo mouth! You can replace the butterscotch chips in these with chocolate or vanilla chips, if it suits your fancy, but these butterscotch ones just really make them sing – if you ask me.
I’ll be around the next few weeks, but might be scarce, so y’all bear with me. I’ve got some great friends who will be helping me out by sharing some of their favorite recipes. I know y’all will welcome them with open arm. Y’all enjoy!!

Can these brownies be frozen?
Wrapped tightly with both a layer of aluminum foil and plastic wrap, they should freeze just fine.
One of THE best bar recipes ever. I’ve been making them for years and finally got around to writing a review. These are seriously SO good and I add a bit extra salt to make them salted butterscotch.
Thanks so much, Joanna! I’m so glad to hear you’ve gotten some great use out of this recipe!
Could you edit this to make it vegan?
These are absolutely delicious!!! Thank you so much!
Wonderful, Amy! So glad you enjoyed them!
I was a little concerned when I reviewed your ingredients and I thought that it may have been a typo that you required 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons). That is double (some triple) the amount of vanilla of any blondies recipe I have seen online. But I see no complaints from those who have tried your recipe, so I guess the flavor of vanilla won’t be overwhelming.
I’ve not had any complaints. 🙂
Why couldn’t I have found this recipe BEFORE I started my new diet? These blondies are heavenly. I fell hard off the diet wagon today. It was worth it! Thank you.
LOL! Well, Tracy, what can I say?? I’m so sorry you fell off the wagon, but I’m also so glad you enjoyed the blondies. Hey, there’s always tomorrow!! 🙂
I doubled the recipe, and baked in a 9×13 pan. Wow, these are awesome! Thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed them, Jen!
These are delicious! I couldn’t resist cutting into them while they were still warm!! Oh my!
OH, I’m so glad you enjoyed them!!
Omigosh, these look good. I’ve had these and loved them, but never knew what they were.lol Going grocery shopping today and I am so gonna try them!
I hope you enjoyed them, Ellen! Thanks for visiting!
they sound yummy. Must try soon. Good luck wit your book.
Thanks, Kathryne!
I made a double batch and used toffee bits instead of butterscotch……..I had to cook it a bit longer but it was a slice of heaven
I’m so glad you enjoyed them!!
For a double batch what size pan did you use? Can you use a 9X13 inch glass pan?
Yep, a 9×13 will work great!
How long should you bake a double batch for in a 9×13 in glass pan? Thanks!
I don’t know for sure, but I would guess about 25 to 30 minutes. I would start checking at about 20 minutes and then check them every few minutes. Enjoy!
I made and baked the butterscotch blondies today. They are delicious…so rich!! It took about 35 minutes for them to get done. I sent 1/2 of the pan of blondies home with my oldest son, he is like me when it comes to sweets! YUMMY!!
So glad they turned out good for you!
These look delicious. I can’t wait to make them-heading out now for butterscotch chips!
