This is what happens when you misplace the piece that helps your camera upload photos to your computer. Your blog doesn't have a new post in quite some time.

For a while I had been on a baking kick and one of my husband's favorite desserts is a Blondie. On a side note doesn't that sentence make you think I have more than one husband. Hah!

Anyway the recipe was really easy to make and the finishing result is a gooey, sweet, sugary, delicious dessert.

(Original name Disappearing Marshmallow Brownies)

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1 cup butterscotch chips
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.

2. Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butterscotch chips and butter
together in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside to
cool.

3. In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix in
the melted butterscotch chips, then the flour, baking powder, and salt until
smooth. Stir in the marshmallows and chocolate chips last. Spread the batter
evenly into the prepared baking pan.

4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in preheated oven. Cool, and cut into squares
or diamonds.

Notes: I line my pan with foil before greasing. Once the bars are cool I
freeze them for about 30 minutes and then lift them out of the pan by the
foil for easier cutting.
