Instructions

For the blondies:

Line a 9”x13” baking pan with parchment paper or non-stick foil. Preheat oven to 350°.
Place the butter and milk powder in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir constantly until the milk solids are toasted golden brown and the mixture smells nutty, pour into a large mixing bowl.
454 g butter, 32 g milk powder
Mix in the brown sugar for about a minute, allowing the heat of the butter to dissolve the sugar. Allow the mixture to cool for about 20-30 minutes to avoid melting the chips later.
600 g brown sugar
Beat in the eggs 1 at a time until well combined and shiny. Beat in vanilla and salt.
5 large eggs, 30 ml vanilla, 10 g sea salt
Stir in flour, butterscotch chips and peanut butter chips just until combined. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan.
480 g all-purpose flour, 170 g butterscotch chips, 170 g peanut butter chips
Bake in a preheated oven for ~34 minutes, the edges will be set, there may be some cracks in the top, the center will have a slight wobble. Set aside to cool completely.

For the topping:

Using the microwave or a double boiler, melt together the peanut butter, butter, and butterscotch chips. Stir in the clear vanilla extract, cool slightly (~5 minutes)
256 g creamy peanut butter, 113 g butter, 170 g butterscotch chips, 5 ml clear vanilla extract
