BUTTERSCOTCH BLONDIE GOOEY BARS



Butterscotch Blondie Gooey Bars image

These are gooey to the extreme! If you like eating cookie dough, these blondie gooey bars are for you. A cup of butterscotch chips takes the flavor over the top!

Provided by Dorothy Kern

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9" pan with foil and spray well with cooking spray.
  • Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (You can also use a hand mixer.) Mix for about 1-2 minutes until the butter and sugar is smooth. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Add baking powder and salt, mix to combine, then slowly add the flour. Mix until smooth.
  • Press half of the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. This batter is VERY sticky. You'll want to spray your hands with cooking spray first.
  • Sprinkle butterscotch chips and sweetened condensed milk over the top of the bottom blondie layer. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the top, spray your hands again with cooking spray, and press lightly to smooth out the top layer.
  • Bake for 27-33 minutes until the top is browned and not jiggly in the center. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Tips:

  • To ensure even baking, make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before placing the bars in the oven.
  • Use a light-colored baking pan to prevent the bars from over-browning.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough bars.
  • For a gooey center, make sure the bars are slightly underbaked.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them, as this will help prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

Gooey butterscotch bars are a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone. With their rich, buttery flavor and gooey center, these bars are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving them for a special occasion or just for a sweet treat, these bars are sure to be a hit.
