Nutella Butterscotch Bars

Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/3 cup Nutella
– 1/3 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until smooth and creamy.

5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

6. Spread two-thirds of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down gently with a spatula or your hands to create an even layer.

7. Drop spoonfuls of Nutella on top of the batter in the pan, followed by the butterscotch chips.

8. Dollop the remaining one-third of the batter over the Nutella and butterscotch, trying to cover most of the filling.

9. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently spread and swirl the layers together, creating a marbled effect.

10. Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

11. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang to transfer to a cutting board.

12. Cut the cooled bars into squares or rectangles, and enjoy the delicious combination of Nutella and butterscotch flavors in every bite!
