Butterscotch Chip Blondies & A Birthday!

Today is my moms birthday – Happy Birthday Mum!

This is my mom when she was my age! And she is holding me when I was a baby :)

I would like to state for the record that I have the best mom ever. She is an amazing woman who raised 4 fabulous children ;) For her birthday I wanted to make her something special but I wasn’t quite sure what. Then I did some brainstorming and tried to think of things she might like – that’s when it hit me! Every time I think of butterscotch or see anything with butterscotch, I think of my mom. This is probably due to the fact that she always got a Butterscotch Dilly Bar from Dairy Queen every time we went :) I thought a blondie would be the best way to incorporate butterscotch chips so here it is:

1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened
