Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1 3/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon scotch (optional)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Flaky sea salt, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; butter the foil. Combine 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar and the heavy cream in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally; continue to cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the scotch and 1 teaspoon vanilla; set aside to cool.
  • Melt the remaining 2 sticks butter in a large saucepan; let cool slightly. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, the eggs and the remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla, then stir in the flour, baking soda and fine salt.
  • Spread the batter in the prepared pan and pour the butterscotch sauce on top. Gently swirl the sauce into the batter using a knife. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let cool completely in the pan. Lift the blondies out of the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into pieces.

Part candy, part cookie, these candy nests are easy to make and the crunchy, salty pretzels are delicious with the sweet butterscotch coating. Kids can help by breaking the pretzels, scooping the nests and arranging the eggs in them.

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield about 30 nests

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup blanched almond slivers
10 ounces vanilla "make your own" almond bark
1 cup butterscotch chips
2 cups pretzel sticks, broken in half
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut chips (often found in the health food aisle)
1 cup candy-coated mini chocolate eggs (about 50)

Steps:

  • Heat a large, dry saute pan over medium heat. Add the almond slivers and toast, shaking the pan every minute, until they are fragrant and begin to darken in areas, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl according to package instructions. Stir in the butterscotch chips. Microwave another 30 seconds, and then stir until smooth.
  • Stir in the almonds, pretzels and coconut, coating evenly. Drop the mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, onto the prepared baking sheets. Nestle in 1 or 2 of the mini eggs. If the mixture starts to cool and become too firm to work with, microwave for 30 seconds and stir gently. Let the nests cool at room temperature until solid.
