These salted caramel blondie bars combine chewy blondie, gooey caramel, and a rich chocolate drizzle for an indulgent yet easy-to-make dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (about 180ml) salted caramel sauce, store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Crack in the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
  6. Spread half the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  7. Spoon dollops of the salted caramel sauce over the batter layer, creating a few swirls.
  8. Carefully dollop and spread the remaining blondie batter over the caramel layer.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking at 30 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes.
  11. Melt chocolate chips with heavy cream in short bursts in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
  12. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled blondie bars in thin, even ribbons and let set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly.
  13. Lift the bars out using the parchment overhang and cut into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Let the bars cool completely before drizzling chocolate to avoid melting the drizzle. Use a thicker caramel sauce or chill caramel slightly to prevent sinking. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep bars tender. Check bake time at 30 minutes to prevent dryness.
