Yup, I just entered another blogging event! Getting crazy, I tell ya.
Amanda from Amanda’s Cooking mentioned to me a few months ago (yeah, I know) in an email that I might like to check out a blogging event called Cooking with Alicia & Annie. I panicked at first but after looking at the blog page for it and checking out some of the recipes I realized that I could do this. For those of you that haven’t participated you should check it 
out. I don’t think there’s an “easier” blogging event out there. They have something for everyone with a TON of recipes to chose from, both savory and sweet. I, of course, went for the sweet. :) Oh, before I forget…you can win prizes! Pretty cool! You pick a recipe from Alicia’s or Annie’s site, make it, blog about it, and then you get a chance to win a prize. Easy, right?!
I’m laughing right now….you know why? Because those of you who have been reading my blog for a while are, I’m sure, NOT surprised by my choice in recipes. Bars and blondies, no big surprise there, right? :) Don’t be fooled by that title while Alicia calls these Marshmallow Brownies they are NOT brownies. I’m unofficially renaming them Marshmallow Goldies.
The recipe called for chocolate chips which might have helped the brownie cause but I left ‘em out. Besides leaving out the chocolate chips I also tossed out the nuts and used coarse sea salt. (‘member this post?) Thinking back I should have upped the salt and sprinkled some on top. While these won’t usurp snickerdoodle blondies from their prime spot at the top they are worth giving a try!
Marshmallow Brownies/Goldies
1/2 cup butterscotch pieces
1/4 cup butter or margarine (go w/butter)
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt (coarse sea salt)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup chocolate chips (I omitted)
1/4 cup chopped nuts (I omitted)
Instructions
Grease bottom and sides of 9-inch square baking pan. In a 3-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt butterscotch chips and butter, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; cool to lukewarm. Add flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, vanilla and egg; mix well. Fold in miniature marshmallows, chocolate chips and nuts just until combined, about 5 strokes. Spread in prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Do not overbake! Center will be jiggly but becomes firm upon cooling.

Well, they sure look good. I love the idea of adding sea salt to the tops. You know me.... anything's better with a sprinkling of salt. : )
I will have to try these for the men in my house. I am not a marshmallow eater. But they sure love them. Plus I love the look on they faces when they eat something good.
oh my gosh!! do you know that I come on here and suffer all the time, I do its terrible because your awesome and everything you post is amazing and then I click on your post and suffer and die. And go look for marshmallows....
Oh my goodness, these look so good!!
I love your site. I can't wait until I have time to browse all the recipes!
I think I'm seriously in love with that overhead picture of the blondies in the cupcake liner. I'm glad to see you're using your liners btw :-)
These looks so fudgey and buttery..oooh!
OMG, those look so irresistible and moist! A terrific treat!
Cheers,
Rosa
So yum!!!
These look just great.
These do sound yummy and I will check out the blog .. sounds like fun.
It's almost hard to imagine these beautiful golden bars with chocolate chips added..:) But since I love chocoalte, I would have never thought to leave them out. But now that I see how beautiful the result, I'll just eat the chips on the side instead...:)

Sweet?! You have my full attention! These look fab!
I love those goldies!
Mmmm, they look so good! I like your name change, goldies is cute!
Hey Ingrid, thanks for letting people know about the contest/event! Those blondies/goldies/brownies look super ooey gooey, something my kids would love! So glad you joined in the fun, hope others will too! Thanks!
Looks Yummy! I am going to make this soon!
I made the banana cake you posted a while back. It was a hit!
MmmMMmmmm!!! These are next on my list to make!
-- We didn't want to move because we are planning for a family! Everyone we know lives in Texas, so it would just make having a baby even more stressful. Thanks for the kind words!!
They look wonderful!
This is definitely a dessert after my own heart...these look fantastic!
i hate that so often marshmallows are limited to smores, rice krispie treats, and very little else. great use for them, ingrid!
I think salt on top would be good. I love sweet and salty together! They look really good!
These look incredibly delicious!! I love bars!! Keep em coming! I like your name change for these too.
I wish I had the time to enter another blogging event!
I love that you added the sprinkle of salt on the top!
They look ooey gooey and yummy!
ok- those sound awesome!
What a great idea! I would have a seriously hard time resisting all that ooey gooey goodness. and the sweet salty combo is ALWAYS a winner in my book!!
Now this is the best of both worlds .. marshamallows and brownies. What an awesome combination!
Looks delicious Ingrid! I love just about anything with marshmallows!
They look fantastic! I'm with you on the blogging events, sometimes I do too many too, this one looks nice and easy though:) However, I'm looking at the LinkWithin widget and the "salted" blondies are calling my name. Yummmm, salted nut roll-ish.
These look so good! I love bars of any kind, brownies or blondies. Delicious looking!
Looks fabulous...in spite of the lack of chocolate! :)
Thank you again for a great recipe. My daughter's family like any type of blondie. They are the non-chocolate side of the family.

Oh my, I'm in trouble...yummmm.
Yum! Do those blondies look good or what?! They're perfect.
Goldies! How cute! They look delish!
We don't have a Fresh Market OR a Whole Foods close! They're at least an hour away, so sad! But I will definitely heed your advice and try asking my Publix Manager for special items! I've never tried before, but I will give it a try! When they order something for you, do they make you buy the whole case of it?
I didnt know that event was still running. Thanks for the info!
My marshmallow sister would LOVE these. Great recipe.
Although I'm not a huge marhsmallow fan, these do look mighty delicious. I love bars because I feel like I'm getting a substantial treat!
Thank god you have some healthy active boys to finish up these :P though I wouldn't mind some myself!
I used to be a blog-event QUEEN, but those days are long gone. Maybe I'll check out this one!
Love the effect those marshmallows give it on top. Craters of goodness.
These sound so so so so good! I love your tip to use real butter, I couldn't agree with you more!
Those bars look fantastic and I'm sure they wouldn't hang around in my household for too long before being scoffed up :0)
Ingrid you can call them anything you want, I call them delicious!
OH MAN! Marshmallow GOLDIES?! I LOVE the name but really... your photos are making me really want something sweet and delicious right now!
I made something very similar when I started blogging and LOVED them! I need to make them again...
holy cow, this looks like the best dessert ever! mmmmmmm
ummm i dont even like marshmallows that much, but this looks so freaking good!
Oh, brownies are just too good. And with marshmallow. It just makes them more gooey! :D
