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.

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.
