Description

These Salted Caramel Pretzel Blondies combine rich caramel, crunchy pretzels, creamy white chocolate, and a chewy blondie base, creating the perfect sweet and salty dessert.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pretzels, coarsely chopped (plus extra for topping)

1 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Incorporate Pretzels and White Chocolate: Gently fold in the chopped pretzels and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Add Caramel: Drizzle half of the caramel sauce into the batter and fold gently to create swirls. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Top with Pretzels: Sprinkle additional pretzels over the top and drizzle with more caramel sauce.
  7. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Lift out using the parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, sprinkle with sea salt flakes and drizzle with extra caramel sauce.
  9. Cut and Enjoy: Cut into squares and enjoy the sweet and salty goodness!

Notes

Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra texture.

Substitute the white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor.

For a vegan version, use dairy-free margarine and a plant-based egg substitute.
