Its been a while since I made anything sweet. And by a while, I mean about 10 days. Which could be considered a lifetime to some! So this past weekend I decided to whip up some of these decadent blondie brownies filled with 2 of my favorite things; butterscotch and chocolate. omg. yum.
I had never made blondie brownies before… its kinda pathetic… and I had never really been a fan of them as a kid. I think I was boycotting them because they weren’t like real brownies and then left them for my sister and parents to eat. But… if we made them now when the whole fam was home, I am fairly confident that they would disappear way faster than when I was a child. These are so enjoyable and they are the perfect balance of sweetness with a hit of butterscotch.
I love butterscotch. Seriously. Its love. I would add them to everything but as it turns out… not everyone I bake for is as obsessed with them as me. BUT… if you are, here are some other fabulous recipes with butterscotch:

Also… you guys rock for helping out raise money of Haiti! I am not closing the comments or donations until Friday, so if you haven’t already left a little love or well wishes check it out here and lets raise some more money for Doctors without Borders!
Let’s get back to the Blondies…
Blondie Brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp of vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt optional
- 1/8 tsp of baking soda
- 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a microwave safe bowl melt the butter and transfer into a mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar and whisk to combine. Add the vanilla and egg and continue to whisk until totally incorporated.
- In another bowl mix together the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until fully combined. The batter will be a bit stiff but not to worry! Add the butterscotch and chocolate chips and combine.
- Grease a small baking dish, I used an 8x8 metal pan, and line with parchment paper. Evenly distribute the batter and tap the dish on the counter making sure all the air bubbles are out. Bake for 20-22 minutes in a 350 degree oven or until you stick a knife in and it comes out clean. I prefer to under bake these by about 2 minutes because, well, lets be honest, I like the gooey inside!
I wish I was eating these for breakfast:)
I’m still recuperating from a vacation’s worth of epic feasting at a breakfast buffet. But when I fully recovering, I’m definitely having these for breakfast, too! (For that matter, they’d be great for lunch and dinner).
My husband loves butterscotch and I love chocolate so these look like the perfect compromise!
My wife makes something similar to these, throws in some white chocolate chips and pecans. Those look super yummy!
I haven’t made these in absolute years! Thank you for bringing them to my attention again! I think these will be perfect for my book club meeting!
Yum, blondies are a fave at my house!
Good luck!

I had never heard of blondie brownies before. I love butterscotch, so I might give them a try one day….
I love anything butterscotch; have since I was a young girl so I’ve always loved a ‘blondie’ but not sure I’ve ever included chocolate chips in the mix…sounds good, thanks for the inspiration.
I love blondie brownies!! My mom used to make them but I haven’t had them in forever!
Gaby,
They look absolutely sinful, and very very addicting! Wishing I ahd some right now! lol 😛

Butterscotch chips and chocolate chips …. I love that combo! Those look FAB!!
YUM! I admit, I totally shied away from blondies too because why go blond when you can have the full chocolate? However, I love butterscotch too, and with the addition of chocolate chips….I can get down with these! Can’t wait to try!
Sounds incredible. I’ve always shied away from blondies, too, because they lacked chocolate. You’ve solved that problem!
looks like I know what I’m making this weekend 🙂
Mmmm…I’m with you–as a kid, people could keep their blondies. I wanted BROWN brownies. These days, I’m all for anything filled with yummy goodness like butterscotch chips. 🙂
These blondies sound fantastic and so perfectly cut. Id love some with my coffee right now.
I just made these. They are delicious but I may use light brown sugar next time. The dark brown sugar made them really dark. Love your site! I can’t wait to try the pumpkin cookies next.
Hey there,
I’m making these; how many does this serve? Highfives… thanks Gaby.
Cheers,
Ella

Would these be good to ship from Mi. to Fla?
if you overnighted them – yes!
