Ingredients
Cooking spray
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1 c. packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 c. butterscotch chips
1 (3.4-oz.) box instant vanilla pudding mix
1 1/4 c. cold whole milk
1/4 c. chocolate chips
3 tbsp. heavy cream, hot
Preparation
Step 1Make the blondie: Preheat oven to 350°. Grease an 8" square baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, allowing a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Grease parchment. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Step 2In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined. Stir in flour mixture until just combined, then fold in butterscotch chips. Step 3Scrape batter into prepared pan and spread evenly with spatula. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Step 4Make the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk pudding with cold milk. Let sit until thickened, 5 minutes. Whisk again until smooth, then spread the thick pudding evenly over cooled blondies. Refrigerate until chilled, 15 minutes. Step 5Using the parchment overhang, remove pudding-topped blondies from baking pan and slice into bars. Step 6In a medium heatproof safe bowl, pour hot cream over chocolate. Cover with a plate and let sit 3 minutes. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. If chocolate is not completely melted, microwave in 5 second increments, stirring well in between, until fully melted. Step 7Drizzle chocolate over top of sliced blondies. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
