Salted Caramel Butterscotch Blondie Bars

My sweet tooth has come back with a vengeance the past couple of weeks. Gummy worms, frozen yogurt, Junior Mints, cherry dipped cones, you name it. I want it.

I had a craving last week for a rich bar dessert, and these salted caramel butterscotch blondie bars with brown butter certainly fit the bill. Anything with brown butter AND salted caramel AND butterscotch just screams ‘rich’ right? I was going to stop with just the brown butter and butterscotch, but I figured why leave out that jar of caramel sauce in my refrigerator waiting to be used?

Even though these have quite the title and might sound a little fancy, I assure you if you know how to melt butter on the stovetop and buy a jar of caramel sauce, you’re good to go. I have memorized this tutorial for making brown butter by heart and I promise once you try it once, you’ll be hooked.

I also cheated a bit with the caramel and used a jar of it in our fridge, as opposed to making my own, so if you’re a purist, make your own! (Find the recipe here.) If you like shortcuts, buy a jar. No one has to know.

These blondies were irresistible warmed up with a big scoop of ice cream on top, as well as washed down with a big glass of milk.
