Cherry Walnut Butterscotch Blondies

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Take two pieces of parchment paper and place them perpendicularly in an 8×8” baking pan. Leave some paper overhang so the blondies can easily be lifted out of the pan. Grease with butter or oil spray.

Spread the walnuts on a baking pan and toast in the oven for about 5-10 minutes, stirring once or twice to ensure they don’t burn. Once toasted, set aside.

Melt the butter and ¼ cup butterscotch chips in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat. Mix in the brown sugar until smooth, then beat in the egg. Stir in the flour until just combined. Fold in the walnuts, cherries, and remaining butterscotch chips (feel free to save a little of each to sprinkle on the top).

Place batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. It will be thick. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts, cherries, and butterscotch chips on top (if you remembered to save them) and pat down slightly.

Bake for 23-25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before removing bars from the pan. Then cut and enjoy!
