Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed (light may be substituted but dark is preferred_
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional and to taste
1 cup butterscotch chips
10 caramels, unwrapped and diced into quarters

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Place butter in a medium sauce pan and heat over medium-low to medium heat. Butter will melt, begin to bubble, foam, hiss, sputter, and brown specks will form in the bottom of the pan; this process takes approximately 2 to 4 minutes, give or take. During the process whisk frequently or nearly continuously and keep an extremely watchful eye on the butter. Brown it long enough to see browned bits and specks, but don't burn it. Butter can go from browned and nutty-smelling to burnt and inedible in less than one minute.Watch for the brown specks and once you see them, remove the pan from the burner, continuing to whisk for another 30 seconds or so. Transfer butter into large mixing bowl and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
  • To the melted butter, add the brown sugar and whisk to combine. Add the egg, vanilla, and stir to combine. Add the flour, salt, and stir until just combined, taking care not to over-mix or the blondies will be tough. Fold in the butterscotch chips. Ppour batter into prepared pan, smoothing it lightly with a spatula or offset knife.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until bars are about 90 to 95% done. The center should just barely be setting up and edges will be slightly pulling away from sides of pan. Remove pan from oven and evenly sprinkle caramel pieces over the bars. Lightly and carefully break the surface of the bars with the caramel pieces, poking them in past the surface layer and pressing down lightly; use caution so you don't burn your fingers. Return pan to oven for 3 to 6 minutes, or until caramels melt and turn into puddles and top surface of bars is set. Allow bars to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. Bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • To keep gluten-free, use your favorite gluten-free flour blend.

Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 oz chopped pecans, finely chopped
¾ cup refined coconut oil, melted
¾ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk, of choice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
3.5 oz dark chocolate, chopped
½ cup semisweet chocolate chunks

Steps:

  • Add the pecans to a large, high-walled skillet. Toast over medium heat for 5-8 minutes, until fragrant and beginning to darken slightly, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  • Pour in the melted coconut oil and stir to combine. Bring to a low simmer and steep the pecans for 8-10 minutes, until the coconut oil is tinted brown and there is a strong nutty aroma. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes, until warm to the touch but cool enough to handle. Strain out the pecans and reserve for another use. You should have about ½ cup of infused coconut oil.
  • Add the warm coconut oil to a large microwave-safe bowl, along with the brown and granulated sugars, non-dairy milk, and vanilla. Whisk well to combine. Microwave for 20 seconds, just until the sugars have begun to dissolve.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a fork to combine.
  • Sift the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and fold with a spatula to combine, being careful not to over-mix.
  • Fold in the chopped chocolate and chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop the dough with a 2-ounce scoop onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing at least 2 inches apart. Chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes, until browned. Let cool for 10 minutes on the pans, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter to make sure the butterscotch bars aren't too salty.
  • Brown the butter slowly and carefully to avoid burning it. Brown butter should have a nutty, caramel-like aroma.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.

Conclusion:

Browned butter butterscotch bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for potlucks, bake sales, or just a sweet snack at home. With their rich, buttery flavor and chewy texture, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
