BLONDIES

My daughter, Jennifer, sent this to me.  It came from the Better Homes and Gardens New Baking Book.


A saucepan and a spoon are all you need to mix up these butterscotch bars.

2 cups packed brown sugar
2/3 cup butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 6-ounce package (1 cup) semisweet chocolate pieces
1 cup chopped nuts (our favorite is pecans, but walnuts are good too)

  1. Grease a 9x13x2-inch baking pan; set aside. In a medium saucepan heat brown sugar and butter over medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Cool slightly. Using a wooden spoon, stir in 3 eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Spread batter in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with chocolate and nuts.

2. Bake in a 350 F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Cool slightly in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars while warm; cool completely in pan.
