Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 16 blondie squares

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce plus extra for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Add eggs and vanilla, mix until fully combined.
  • Stir in salt and flour until just combined—do not overmix.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and crushed pretzels.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Drizzle salted caramel over the top and gently swirl with a knife.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until edges are golden and center is just set.
  • Let cool in pan before lifting out and slicing into squares.

Notes

  • For cleaner cuts, chill the blondies in the fridge before slicing.
  • Don’t overbake—the center should still look slightly underdone when you pull them out.
  • You can use store-bought or homemade salted caramel.
  • Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top after baking for an extra kick.
