Day 64: Blueberry Pie Butterscotch Oreo Blondie

I was a bit ambitious with this recipe. Originally, I got it from Pintrest and it was only supposed to be a Golden Oreo Blondie... but, I had a pack of Blueberry Pie Oreos in the pantry and I figured why not switch it up a bit. I also added the butterscotch chips because, why not? The one thing with this recipe that I just did not understand is that it called for an 8 inch pan. Maybe I stuffed mine with way too much goodness but the 8 inch pan I used took FOREVER to bake through and by the time the center was cooked, the outside was way overdone and really hard. Also, maybe I shouldn't have added that extra layer of Blueberry Oreos on top? In my mind, you can never have too many Oreos but maybe somehow it was too much for the pan to handle. Either way, there are some definite tweaks that need to happen with this recipe. I ended up breaking the entire blondie in half to get a taste from the middle, which was delicious, but the rest was ruined. So, I will be remaking this but with a 9 X 13 pan so that way it's evenly cooked. Not the best recipe first time around but again, this is one of the joys of baking. Sometimes it works, sometimes you need to adjust the recipe a bit. Either way, it was tasty.. even if I had to toss most of it. Stay tuned for an update on this one!
