Salty and sweet, soft and chewy these easy to make salted caramelblondies are oozing with sticky caramel goodness. The perfect treat for any caramel lover! One could say I’ve been on a salted caramel kick lately, considering that yesterday I shared with you the recipe for salted caramel chocolate skillet brownieand as you probably know I’m all about chocolate, but these blondies,oh these blondiesrocked my world! I’ve made these salted caramel blondies about two months ago it just took me like forever to edit the photos. The funny thing is that I had to stop editing and run to the kitchenand make another batch. Good thing they areso easy to make! Yes, you do need a mixer, a food processor and a sauce pan but still, it takes around 15minutes to make them and almost 30 minutes to bake. I think most of the timeyou spend unwrapping the caramel candies. You can use your favorite caramel sauce if you prefer, just please, don’t use ice-cream caramel topping. Use a thick, rich caramelsauce or follow the recipe for my quick one : caramels and evaporated milk – heat and stir until melted. That’s it! There are just a few variations to this salted caramel blondiesrecipe. If you’re not a big on sweet and salty treats you can skip the sprinkle of sea salt, although I honestly do not recommendthat, but I do advise you to add a pinch of salt over the caramel once they are out of the oven. They will take you on a salty roller coaster through the caramel kingdom! You can also add a few chocolate chips over the caramel layer if you feel like you can’t live without chocolate. I totally understand you.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) room temperature butter
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120 grams) all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 7 oz Kraft caramel, unwrapped
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup diced cold butter
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) all purpose flour
- sea salt (optional)
- 4 oz caramels + 2 tbsp evaporated milk (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F. Line an 11x7" baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside
- In a mixing bowl cream 1/2 cup butter with 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and vanilla extract. Mix well, scraping the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Add 1 cup of flour and baking soda. Mix until just combined.
- Spread the mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven without turning it off.
- Meanwhile make the filling.
- In a small saucepan combine the 7 oz caramel and 1/4 cup evaporated milk. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Pour over the half baked crust.
- Sprinkle with sea salt.
- To make the top blondie layer place 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg and 1/2 cup flour in a food processor and pulse a couple of times.
- Crumble it over the caramel layer. This part is a little tricky since the dough is wet and somehow sticky, but with a little patience it will work.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 more minutes.
- As soon as you take the blondies out of the oven, sprinkle a pinch of salt on top (optional).
- Leave to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
- Serve with more caramel sauce, if preferred.

I have no words. Other than this...we humans are insanely attracted to dripping ooey-gooey goodness! (Aren't we crazy? Space aliens would think so.) Seriously, Roxy...your styling and photography is just stunningly gorgeous here. And, I'm drooling over your salty caramelized blondies...they look so super-moist and chewy-scrumptious! And, yes...I would add some chocolate. And, I am thinking of joining Baked with Love. Thanks for sharing! xo

Hi! These sound great but I'm a new chef/baker and we don't own a food processor. Any suggestions?

Roxana says
Hi Mal, If you don't own a food processor you can mix the ingredients by hand, just make sure they are well blended. Roxana

Could it be ppossible to add my own caramel sauce in between layers or I need to use the one you use in your recipe? I can't wait to make them! Your pictures look yummy!
Reply
Roxana says
Hi Jinny, I'm pretty sure you can add your own caramel sauce. I would not advice using caramel ice-cream topping since it's thinner but any good caramel sauce should work fine. Roxana

If you put the caramels in the freezer the cellophane will come off much faster.

I had the same issue Lori. Next time I will start the filling first, it took about 20 minutes to melt the caramels, while the bottom layer was done much faster. The top layer was really more of a paste, and hard to disperse on top of the melted caramel layer. Still tasted delicious, just didn't look too appealing.

Roxana says
Hi Tara, Thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear you had trouble making the blondies. Indeed the top layer is more of a wet dough than a crumble and it's a little hard to spread it over the caramel layer, but in my opinion it's worth the effort. I don't know why it took you 20 minutes to melt the caramels, mine were done in just a few minutes, while the bottom layer was in the oven. Roxana

What size pan did you use, it seems like a small batch. Most brownie recipes call for at least 2 cups flour.

Roxana says
Hi Denise, I used an 11X7" baking pan. You could use a 9" square pan also. Roxana

Hey! These blondies look AMAZING and I can't wait to make them. We don't have Kraft caramels over here, though, so when making my own salted caramel sauce, how much of it should I use in the recipe? One could argue that you can never have too much caramel, but we all know how precise baking is ;). Thanks!
Reply
Roxana says
Hi Valeryssa, you can use any caramels you have on hand, as long as it weights 7 ounces for the filling and an additional 4 ounces to drizzle over the blondies (optional)
