I’m on a blondie kick! We went hiking yesterday with some good friends just north of Bear Mountain and I wanted to bring a snack for the boys. Of course, I decided to bake something at 10:30 on Saturday night, so it had to be easy. I did an internet search for “bar cookies” and came up with these. Actually it was a toss-up between these butterscotch blondies and a recipe for white chocolate blondies. Next time I’ll try the white chocolate blondies because they looked really good too.
Our hike was excellent – it was a picture-perfect day — sunny with a nice breeze. It was our boys’ first hike and we hiked for about an hour with parts that were quite steep for them. We then sat down on a huge rock to have lunch. The boys welcomed the butterscotch blondies and would have been quite pleased if I had allowed them to have seconds.
My next goal is to try to make butterscotch blondies without the use of butterscotch chips. I had a delicious butterscotch bar from the Treats Truck, and I’d love to reproduce it, but haven’t had much luck yet. I’ll keep trying.

Spread batter in prepared baking pan. Sprinkle butterscotch chips evenly over top. Bake 5 minutes or just until butterscotch is shiny and soft. With knife, swirl pieces into batter to create a marbled effect. Return to oven and bake 15-20 minutes longer or until set. Cool on wire rack; cut into bars.

The blondies were really good. I think next time we might add chocolate chips in there. I shared it with my friends but they ate all the yummy sugar muffins instead. Remember the ones we made on the sleepover but we added chocolate chips to them this time.
Hi Kyle,
I’m so glad you liked the blondies. I’m also glad that you like the sugar muffins. I bet they’re better with chocolate chips. I’ll have to try that next time.
