Salted Butterscotch Blondies
These chewy blondies are full of sweet butterscotch and topped with a little sea salt for the perfect balance.
recipesbynani.comWelcome to my kitchen. These butterscotch blondies are a favorite around here because they are so easy to whip up in just one bowl. They have a deep brown sugar flavor and a soft, fudgy texture that everyone loves.
I like to use a good quality sea salt for the top to really bring out the sweetness of the butterscotch. Make sure you do not overbake them, as they will keep firming up as they cool in the pan.
