Delightful blondies with a chewy base, crunchy pretzels, and rich salted caramel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for salted caramel)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (for salted caramel)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for salted caramel)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (for salted caramel)
  • 1 cup pretzel pieces
  • 1/4 cup coarse sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Fold in the pretzel pieces, reserving a handful for topping.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Prepare the salted caramel by heating the granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts and turns a deep amber color.
  9. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter and heavy cream until smooth. Stir in the sea salt.
  10. Drizzle the salted caramel over the top of the baked blondies, then sprinkle with reserved pretzel pieces and additional sea salt.
  11. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

Serve these blondies at room temperature. You may add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an extra treat.
