Butterscotch Blondies with Chocolate Glaze

By Courtney 25 Comments

These Butterscotch Blondies with Chocolate Glaze will practically melt in your mouth. Quick and easy to put together (on the stove top!), they’re perfect for when you need that last minute dessert recipe.

Butterscotch Blondies with Chocolate Glaze

So since I don’t have any other pictures to share with you tonight, I think it sounds like the PERFECT opportunity to share a little recipe I’ve been hiding up my sleeve…

IMG_0439

Let’s face it. We’ve all been in that situation where last minute plans have been made with friends or family and you’re scrambling to figure out something to bring. It’s happened to you, right?

Well for me, most of my friends and family look to me to bring the desserts, so I’m always on the lookout for something quick and easy to make when pressed for time.

Let me tell you, these bars definitely make the cut! I actually whipped up a batch of Butterscotch Blondies last weekend when our friends Joe & Kate came over for dinner.

IMG_0433

I think quite possibly the best part of this recipe is that it only requires one saucepan to mix everything together, and if you line your baking dish with foil like I did, then you don’t even have to wash it. Less dishes = fantabulous. Winking smile

IMG_0441

Oh, and did I forget to mention how incredibly delicious they are?? I found the recipe in my Betty Crocker cookbook, and believe it or not, the recipe is actually labeled as one of their low-fat recipes. Take it as you wish! Smile

IMG_0434

I made a few small changes to the original recipe to suit my own tastes, and they really turned out better than I could have ever imagined.

So good, in fact, that they were gone within two days.

    Blondies
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  2. In small saucepan, melt butter over low heat; remove from heat. Stir in brown sugar, vanilla, milk and egg. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spread in pan.
  3. Bake about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes in pan on wire rack. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows while still warm.
  4. For the Glaze:

***********

Now I will tell you right now that these bars are amazing on their own. BUT, if you’re feelin’ a little frisky, then I’d recommend that you dress ‘em up with this super simple chocolate glaze.

IMG_0459

The glaze is a recipe that I’ve had in my arsenal for a while now, and it worked absolutely perfect with these bars. It’s ready to go in less than 15 minutes, so there’s really no excuse not to do it. It almost reminds me of my once favorite Hershey’s syrup…only better. And warm. And gooey. And…oh man, I think I need to go make some more…

IMG_0466

I mean, like we really ever need an excuse for extra chocolate anyways, right? Winking smile

These will certainly test your willpower, but they are totally worth it. So much, in fact, that I think I may be making another batch this weekend.

    YUM! Those look fabulous...minus the chocolate. I know I know...but I am not a chocolate person. But blondies...sign me up! Also it completely cracks me up that there were considered the low-fat in the Betty Crocker cookbook.

    Oh my goodness these look amazing! I would make them right now but the only people who would eat them would be me and the boyfriend I somehow don't think they're 'low fat' if you eat half a batch!

    I'm literally floored looking at the crackly tops of your blondies. I've never gotten mine to look like that. Your recipe must be superb. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog and I'd like to invite you to stop by and link your blondies up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/02/sweets-for-saturday-6.html

    Nice "low fat" bars lol! Maybe it's because there's only half a stick of butter instead of a whole stick? These are on my Friday Finds this week! Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to make them!!
