Provided by Dorothy Kern

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9" pan with foil and spray well with cooking spray.
  • Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (You can also use a hand mixer.) Mix for about 1-2 minutes until the butter and sugar is smooth. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Add baking powder and salt, mix to combine, then slowly add the flour. Mix until smooth.
  • Press half of the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. This batter is VERY sticky. You'll want to spray your hands with cooking spray first.
  • Sprinkle butterscotch chips and sweetened condensed milk over the top of the bottom blondie layer. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the top, spray your hands again with cooking spray, and press lightly to smooth out the top layer.
  • Bake for 27-33 minutes until the top is browned and not jiggly in the center. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

MOMMA PAT'S GOODIE BARS



Momma Pat's Goodie Bars image

If you're looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert, then you've found it! My mom's Goodie Bars have just about everything but the kitchen sink in them-a graham cracker crust topped with two kinds of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pecans and coconut.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 cups crushed graham crackers (about 12 sheets)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut flakes
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Stir together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and salt in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, pecans and coconut over the crust. Pour the condensed milk evenly over the top, and spread with a spatula to make sure everything is even.
  • Bake until the edges are golden brown and the middle is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a smooth and creamy batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
  • Use a 9x13 inch baking pan for this recipe. A smaller pan will make the bars too thick, and a larger pan will make them too thin.
  • Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the bars dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These gooey butterscotch bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from potlucks to bake sales. With their rich butterscotch flavor and chewy texture, these bars are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these gooey butterscotch bars a try.
