Decadent Salted Caramel Blondies featuring a rich buttery base swirled with luscious caramel and topped with delicate sea salt flakes, baked to perfection for a chewy and gooey treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Blondie Batter

  • 12 Tablespoons Butter (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Caramel Topping

  • 5 ounces Caramel (about 2/3 cup plus more for drizzling if desired)
  • Sea Salt Flakes (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Melt Butter: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, swirling the pan often to prevent burning. Once melted, continue cooking the butter for an additional two minutes to develop a slightly nutty flavor.
  2. Add Sugars: Remove the pan from heat and immediately add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir continuously for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes glossy and all sugar crystals dissolve into the butter.
  3. Cool and Mix Wet Ingredients: Allow the butter and sugar mixture to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes or refrigerate for 10 minutes to speed cooling. Then, stir in the vanilla extract followed by the eggs, adding them one at a time and stirring well after each addition for a smooth batter.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
  5. Prepare Baking Pan and Add Batter: Optionally, line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the blondie batter evenly into the pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  6. Swirl Caramel: Drizzle the caramel evenly over the top of the batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the caramel through the batter, creating a marbled effect.
  7. Bake the Blondies: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 24 minutes, or until the top is shiny with slight cracks. Be careful not to overbake to keep the blondies moist and chewy.
  8. Cool and Finish: Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Optionally, drizzle additional caramel and sprinkle sea salt flakes on top for enhanced flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • For easier cleanup and perfect edges, line your baking pan with parchment paper extending beyond the sides to lift the blondies out after baking.
  • Use high-quality caramel or homemade caramel for the best flavor impact.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a moist and chewy texture.
  • These blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • Allow fully cooling before cutting to prevent crumbling.
