Category: Brownies/Blondies

8 tbsp butter
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp almond extract
3/4 cup pecan pieces, toasted and coarsely chopped (divided)
1 1/2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
3/4 cup Heath Bar Bites, coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8inch square pan with Release foil or parchment. Place butter in a small saucepan and heat over medium until butter starts to brown and foam. Turn off heat and swirl. Set aside to cool.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs. Beat in dark and regular sugar, followed by both extracts. Stir in slightly cooled, browned butter and flour mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup of the toasted pecans and 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips; pour into prepared pan. Bake for 25-27 minutes.

While blondies bake, stir together remaining pecans, dark chocolate chips and chopped Heath Bar bites. Remove cooked brownies from oven and sprinkle Heath bar mixture over top. Let cool completely. When ready to slice, lift foil from pan and score into however many bars you need.
