  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter and ¾ cup of the butterscotch chips, stirring over medium heat. Once they have melted together, remove them from the stovetop and stir, making sure there aren’t any remaining unmelted chips.

Notes

  • If you want the blondies to have a richer flavor, I recommend using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you already have light brown sugar that you want to make darker, simply stir 1 tablespoon of molasses into 1 cup of light brown sugar.
  • Remember what I said about the sweet and salty combo in this recipe? To enhance that even more, try sprinkling a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the blondies.
  • Another topping that elevates these blondies even more is a drizzle of warm caramel sauce.
  • If you're looking to add more texture, chopped walnuts are a delicious addition to this recipe.
Storage: Store butterscotch blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
