Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper, allowing a bit of overhang for easy removal after baking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and packed brown sugar. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the eggs, introducing them one at a time and whisking thoroughly after each addition to ensure a fluffy texture. Finally, stir in the pure vanilla extract.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Carefully fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined is critical—avoid overmixing to maintain a light blondie texture.

        Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently incorporate the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without aggressive stirring.

          Layer with Caramel: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly across the bottom. Drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over this layer, letting it cascade across the surface. Spoon the remaining batter on top and gently spread to cover the caramel, then drizzle the rest of the caramel over the final layer.

            Create a Swirl Effect: Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the caramel into the top layer of the batter. Aim for a marbled appearance, but take care not to mix it too much; the caramel should remain visible.

              Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The blondies are done when the edges turn golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (it’s okay if a few moist crumbs cling to it).

                Cool and Prepare for Serving: After baking, remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to carefully lift the blondies out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack for complete cooling. Once cool, sprinkle flaky sea salt generously over the top for a gourmet finish.

                  Slice and Enjoy: Cut the chilled blondies into squares and serve! Enjoy the delightful blend of sweet buttery blondies with rich bursts of salted caramel in every bite!
