Yummy Ooey Gooey Caramel Pumpkin Blondies image

A friend a while back gave me this recipe after we had dinner at her house and she made this dessert. I had to have the recipe before we left for home. Oh my; what a great dessert. The only thing I changed in it was I added butterscotch chips. And Woody had me add a scoop of ice cream on top. We love it so much that I made it for Thanksgiving this year and it didn't last the weekend. It was so great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. MMMMMMMMM!!!!! I called my friend and told her how I changed her recipe just a little and she is going to try it my way next time she makes it.

Number Of Ingredients 17

- blondies:
3/4 cup(s) butter, softened
1 cup(s) pumpkin, canned or cooked
1 cup(s) packed light brown sugar
2 - large eggs
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon(s) nutmeg
1 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- filling:
1 - (14 ounce) package of caramels, unwrapped
1/2 cup(s) roughly chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup(s) butterscotch chips (optional)
1/4 cup(s) heavy cream
- vanilla ice cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 and grease a 9 X 13 inch pan and set aside.
  • In a bowl; cream together butter and brown sugar and add eggs, vanilla and pumpkin puree and mix until well blened.
  • Slowly add cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, soda and salt and mix well.
  • Spread about 2/3 of the batter into pan evenly.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts and chocolate chips over the top of batter.
  • Place the caramels and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring every 20 minutes.
  • Pour over nuts and butterscotch chips and spread evenly and dot remaining batter over top.
  • Try to spread dollops of batter out; (it is ok if some of the caramel peaks through).
  • Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. It might have caramel on it, but it shouldn't have cake batter.
  • Remove from oven and serve warm to get oozing caramel or cool completely and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
