2 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
½ teaspoon of sea salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 ¾ cups packed brown sugar
1 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
11 ounce package of butterscotch flavored morsels, divided
1 cup chopped pecans

How to make this butterscotch squares recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. This helps to make the bars easier to remove when they are cooked, and you can slice right on the parchment paper to save a mess on a cutting board.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until the dry ingredients are well combined.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until it is creamy and smooth. Beat in the eggs until the mixture is light and creamy.

These ingredients give the blonde color and base to the blondie recipe.

Gradually add in the flour mixture. You will end up with a very thick blondie batter.

Gently mix in 1 cup of the butterscotch morsels and the chopped pecans into the flour and sugar mixture.

Spread the blondie batter in the prepared pan and sprinkle with the remaining butterscotch morsels. This will give the top of the blondies a rich, decadent topping and taste.

Bake the pan in a preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I can’t wait to taste a slice of this delicious butterscotch dessert!

I love the way the flour puffs up and encases the butterscotch chips but they still keep their shape.

This ensures that each bite of these bars will have both the texture and the flavor of the butterscotch chips!

Be sure to allow the butterscotch brownies to cool before you cut them into 24 squares to get nice, clean edges.

Time to taste the butterscotch bars

Butterscotch chips dot the golden brown batter of these delightful squares. The bars are rich and crunchy from the chopped nuts and oozing with a delicious butterscotch flavor.

These bars are so rich and gooey! It is sort of a cookie dough experience with the butterscotch chips taking the dessert over the top in the taste department.

The butterscotch chips recipe is dangerously delicious and oh so addictive. I loved that they are really fast and easy to pull together.

This makes them the perfect dessert to take to your next potluck or bake sale. And your family will definitely thank you for making this magical dessert.
