Pecan Blondies with Maple Butter Cream Cheese Sauce

This is officially the king of fall desserts at my house. It is so sweet and delicious with all of the maple butter nuttiness you could possibly want.

This batch size is baked in an 8×8″ pan (or a cast iron skillet) but if you like you can easily double the recipe for a 9×13″ pan to please a crowd.

Have extra pecans that you’d like to use up? Try out my candied pecans or my salted chocolate butter pecan cookies!

Have extra of this amazing maple cream cheese sauce from this recipe and wondering how to use it? I usually make a double batch just so that I can toss it on top of waffles or cinnamon rolls!
