Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy whipping cream to prepare the salted caramel sauce. Stir continuously until dissolved, then bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in fine sea salt. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in mini pretzel twists and chocolate chips. Pour half of the blondie batter into the prepared pan, then drizzle with some of the salted caramel sauce. Top with the remaining batter, and finish with more caramel on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.
- Serve with optional garnishes like extra pretzels, chocolate chips, sea salt, and a drizzle of caramel for enhanced flavor.
Notes
For a more intense caramel flavor, let the sauce cool before layering it in the blondies. Adjust the amount of sea salt based on your taste preference.
