Nuttin' but Chewy Blondies

This is a recipe I've tried once before. We "hosted" a Super Bowl party this year for the Giants v. Patriots game and I graciously made dips to partake in, lil' smokies to snack on, and this delicious blondie recipe to top it all off. I wanted a good, easy, and sweet snack to make, but I didn't want to make anything usual and expected. So I made a blondie. It's like a brownie, only better. It consists of the general ingredients like flour, sugar, baking soda and powder, vanilla, butter, and eggs. But what makes a blondie so special is the brown sugar, walnuts, chocolate chips, butterscotch, and coconut. They're easy to make and absolutely delicious! Jaime told some guys at work about these heavenly little treats and of course they wanted some. So I made a double batch for him to take to work. Enjoy boys!

I made a double recipe but I'm going to give you guys just the normal recipe. Start off by preheating the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9X13 inch pan with butter or spray butter. Now onto preparing the batter!

Start off by mixing the dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. This would be mixing the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together.

Next, cream room temperature butter in a large bowl until creamy.

Beat in the white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

Add the eggs one at time. Mixing for a minute each after each egg is added. The batter should go from extremely thick to more of a liquid.

After the eggs are added and well incorporated, mix in the vanilla.

Add the dry ingredients in sections.

Section 2 of the dry ingredients being mixed into the liquid batter.

Separate the dry ingredients into three sections, so that it isn't added all at once into the liquid batter. Mix each section of the dry ingredients into the liquid batter on low until it all disappears into the batter.

The batter will become thick and almost dough-like once all the dry ingredients are added.

Once the batter is all mixed, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.

Once the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips are mixed into the batter, add the walnuts and coconut and mix until well incorporated.

The batter will be extremely thick now and overflowing with chocolate, butterscotch, walnuts, and coconut.

Next, spread the batter into a buttered pan and try to spread as evenly as you can.

Put the pan into the oven at 325 degrees F and bake for 40 minutes. Test to see if it's fully cooked by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center of the pan. It should come out clean.

When fully baked, take out of the oven and let them cool completely. This may take a while. The blondies should be a beautiful light brown color. The edges may be a little higher then the center also.

When completely cool it's time to cut them and enjoy your hard work!
