Ingredients
Blondie Base
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Butterscotch Sauce
- 1/2 cup salted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the butter, sugar and brown sugar to a mixing bowl and cream together until very smooth. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
- Add flour and baking powder and stir until combined. Fold in butterscotch chips (keep a small handful to sprinkle on top).
- Spread into a greased square (8 or 9 inch) baking pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool before cutting into bars.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar and cream and stir well with a wooden spoon until blended.
