Salted Butterscotch Blondies

by Brandi Milloy

About this Recipe

Our friend and chef, Brandi Milloy, is all about butterscotch. Her Salted Butterscotch Blondies hit all the right notes: sweet, salty, melty, and easy to prep. Pro tip: leave butter and eggs at room temperature for 1 hour before beginning. This will soften butter for easy mixing and ensure more even distribution of eggs in the dough, especially if you prepare this without a stand mixer.
