Butterbeer Blondies

Save and share!

These are butterscotch and caramel bars, but I am really certain that they taste just like getting a Butterbeer from The Three Broomsticks. They are super rich, buttery, caramely and butterscotch. Just what you need to snack on during a Harry Potter Party, or while curled up reading a good book.

The bars themselves are perfect -gooey and soft. They make me want to go back and read the Harry Potter series again (for the 11th time) or at least have a marathon movie watching day (for the 85th time).

Serve these Harry Potter inspired bars with a big glass of pumpkin juice. And if you are hosting a Harry Potter party, you definitely need to add this recipe to the menu!

How to make these Harry Potter blondie bars

These bars are easy to make! For the full set of directions, make sure you scroll down to the recipe card below.

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 F and spray a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars and until smooth.
  4. Add in the egg to the butter mixture and beat for 1 minute.
  5. Beat in the caramel and vanilla.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredents until just combined.
  7. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the butterscotch chips.
  8. Evenly spread the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (the inside will still be a little gooey), and the top is golden brown.
  10. Transfer the dish to the top of a wire rack and allow to cool completely before cutting into bars and icing.

To ice:

  1. Whisk the powdered sugar and the milk together until it forms the right consistency.
  2. Drizzle over the bars.

    1. Thanks for stopping by Tracy! I loved them, as I do everything you make! 🙂

  1. Yum yum yum! These look so great. This just may be my way to get my husband to finally watch the Harry Potter movies, a treat for each one he gets through!

  2. Amy (Savory Moments) says:

    Oh, yum! These sound so good!

  3. Re: computer problems- that's the thing, my computer IS new- its only 3.5 months old.:/

    These look awesome and luckily, I can get online via my phone so I think I might make these tomorrow.

  4. I always wanted to know what Butter Beer tasted like, and I dare say I'm not alone. I'm toying with the idea of baking every brownie/blondie recipe I have and that would definitely make the cut.

    I did, however, get a chance to try Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans (made by Jelly Belly) and the boy and I had a grand old time sitting there tasting them and spitting most of them out (the cut grass one tasted fine to me, but the earthworm one, not so much). Bit of a waste of money, but so much fun!

  5. Oh the never-ending to-do list. But you knocked it out of the park with these Jenni–what kids wouldn't want one, even if they aren't a Harry Potter Fan.

  6. Lauren Gaskill | Making Life Sweet says:

    These should be called crack bars, because I know once I make them I'm going to be addicted!

    What a gorgeous creation!
