Pretzel Butterscotch Blondies

 I've been feeling a little poopy this week and we're going to Victoria Falls on Friday… So I really didn't think I'd get to baking this week. 

But luckily today when I woke up I felt geeeeeeeeeeer-eat {name that commercial} and went for a nice walk. 

Stupid dogs. Seriously! People don't think it's a little dumb to just leave their gate wide open so there dogs can scare the bee-gee-bies out of a cute little pedestrian like me? 

Goodness gracious. 

Anyways. Like I was saying I felt better today so I figured why the heck not bake something?

 I've had 2 bags of butterscotch chips in my baking cupboard for at least a month or two since we got our first care package… I think I got so used to not having any, I had no idea what to do with them. But like always, sweet and salty goes together like… Peanut butter and jelly? 

So why not throw some pretzels in the batter and BOOM! A delicious bar cookie was born. THE BEST bar cookie actually. You're very welcome. 

I suggest making these right now and anyone who sinks their pearly whites into them will love you forever… I kid you not. Do I kid? Noooooooooooooooooooo. 

These bars were so soft and fluffy they were like a golden pillow! The sweetness of the butterscotch and the saltiness of the pretzels and sea salt are a combo-a-la-perfecto! 

Pretzel Butterscotch Brownies

{a Sophie original}

2 1/4 c. flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. sea salt

 {or regular salt… Whatever floats your boat.}

1 c. butter

3/4 c. sugar

3/4 c. brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

1 1/2 c. butterscotch chips

2 c. pretzels, chopped

Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Beat the butter, sugars, vanilla, and eggs. Mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the butterscotch chips and 1 1/2 c. of the pretzels. Press the batter into a greased 9x9 baking pan. Top it off with the rest of the chopped pretzels. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. A little sign to know when they're done is when you can smell all the goodness comin' from the oven! Enjoy! :)

P.S. Since we're going to Victoria Falls on Friday, I won't be blogging. But I'll be back on Wednesday… So keep your eyeballs peeled! :)
