Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with 2 cups of brown sugar. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add 3 large eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of caramel sauce into the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed but not fully blended. You want to see swirls of caramel in the blondie batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Use a spoon to drizzle a little extra caramel sauce on top if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Once done, remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Before serving, sprinkle sea salt over the top of the cooled blondies for a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the caramel.
- Cut into squares or rectangles, serve, and enjoy your Chewy Salted Caramel M Blondies!
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and more even mixing

- For extra caramel intensity, use high-quality caramel sauce
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting
- Let the blondies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
