Though we've never been able to choose sides on the vanilla-versus-chocolate debate, blondies as unique as these render the traditional brownie somewhat uninspired.
Frites & Fries' recipe for Butterscotch and Whiskey Bars inventively pairs the dulcet butterscotch with a not-so-subtle dash of whiskey (a quarter cup!), adding a pleasurably harsher nuttiness to what becomes a complex, sweet-savory confection. The grown-up recipe aims to please both those with a penchant for sweets and those with a weakness for whiskey -- and provides an easy, soul-warming wintery treat.
The flexible blondie serves as a vessel to showcase whatever ingredients you favor, from cranberry and white chocolate, to coconut and lime. What are your favorite blondie additions? Share your recommendations in the comments!

If that still isn't working for you, look up "Frites & Fries, Butterscotch and Whiskey Cookie Bars" and it's the first link that pops up!
I just made them myself this weekend and they're FABULOUS! You may want to add an extra tbsp or two of flour though; I did so, as the dough was a little too moist on its own. They turned out perfect! Enjoy.
