These delectable blondies are the perfect comfort food sweet tooth fix. Filled with butterscotch, chocolate chips and little mini marshmallow bits you can’t go wrong.
Seriously these are a favorite go to for a bar type cookie. They are quick to make, start with a simple base and you can add whatever you like to them be it dried fruit, any kind of chocolate chip, chopped candy bars or the like.
The wonderful and often little used butterscotch gets highlighted in these blondies. What’s special about these too are the tini tiny marshmallow bits that kind of melt inside the blondie. They remind me of the little marshmallow bits you would get in cereals as a kid. I was never a sweet cereal kid, I like Shredded Wheat, Corn Flakes and Corn Puffs, weird huh? But as an adult I like the sweets, so I need to be careful.
So let’s get these guys going. Preheat your oven to 350° F and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished blondies out.
Mix together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, blend the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla together until combined. Add egg and mix well.
Slowly add in the dry ingredients and stir together. Fold in the marshmallow bits, butterscotch and chocolate chips. The batter will be super thick. Spread evenly into prepared baking pan using a rubber spatula dipped in water if needed.
Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into 12 squares.

Here is a picture of the marshmallow bits for those who have inquired.
Your cookies are always on point Kevin. The looked so yummy and it made me crave for some 🙂 One of the best things I experienced in the US, it’s so easy to purchase ingredients for baking at any supermarket! I’m gonna bake a lot of goodies!
Hi Maggie! Thanks so much, these are really good in flavor and texture. I have a couple other blondie recipes on here, but this is my latest crave! Glad you’re enjoying the big move here to the States. Welcome 🙂
My favorite cookie bars have a whole variety of flavors and textures – this one looks heavenly!
I love butterscotch chips but I’ve never tried them in a blondie. I’m intrigued…
They hit the spot for sure Mike, try it out.
I’m usually not a blondie person but I can get on board with these! Also, I loved corn flakes and shredded wheat as a kid= weirdos unite.
LOL, weirdos unite, that’s great. You need to try blondies Chrissy, they are second only to their older brother the brownie for me! 🙂
I have several different versions on the site, check them out and have a great day.
You know what? I’ve NEVER made blondies before. This is The One I am going to make! 🙂
PS Especially love that there’s no creaming required….creaming kills me. I ALWAYS forget to leave the butter out!!
Never made blondies? Oh my what you’ve been missing, hope I make you a convert Nagi. They are the younger brother to brownies in my humble opinion. 🙂 Super easy and soft, melt in your mouth cookie goodness.
Hey Kevin! These look so moist and chewy! I love making cookies, but sometimes it’s just easier (and less time consuming) to do bars.
Agreed Dorothy, it’s one of the reasons I fell in love with them, so easy and delicious EVERY time. 🙂
Hey Kevin! Question – when you say marshmallow bits do you mean mini marshmallows? I have not seen “bits”, although I could make minis into bits.
Hi Dorothy, they are little dried marshmallow bits, like in kids’ cereals. See this picture under the recipe. 🙂
Hey Kevin! Maybe it’s where I live, but I have never seen these – I’ll just improvise! When my kids were little I would not buy cereal with marshmallows or chocolate – they pleaded and I wouldn’t do it!, but now that they are grown they don’t eat them either! One for Mom!
There’s always Amazon!
I’m totally digging these bars, Kevin! Pass me one…with extra marshmallows please!
Where’s that Star Trek transporter when we need it, right?!
