BUTTERSCOTCH PECAN BLONDIES



Butterscotch Pecan Blondies image

I first combined pecans and butterscotch in these blondies because they were my mom-mom's favorite flavors. When she loved them, they became a family favorite and I baked them for her every chance I got. They are fantastic when sliced warm and topped with ice cream. They also make the perfect addition to a friendly care package.

Time 2h

Yield 16 blondies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
14 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, line it with parchment paper, then spray the parchment. Set aside.

SALTED BUTTERSCOTCH & PECAN NO-BAKES



Salted Butterscotch & Pecan No-Bakes image

When I was deciding what type of cookie to make for a Christmas swap, I opted for something with coconut, pudding mix and salted caramel. Boxed, these could make a great gift as well. I like to drizzle caramel over the tops of the cookies before serving for a special touch. -Stacey Ritz, Sudbury, Ontario
