They have crisp golden edges and a soft, gooey center loaded with sweet caramel bits in every bite. Easy to make and perfect for parties, holidays, or whenever you\u2019re craving something sweet and indulgent!<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00be cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled<\/li>\n<li>1\u00bd cups (300g) packed brown sugar (light or dark)<\/li>\n<li>2 large eggs, room temperature<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>1\u00bd cups (190g) all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>1 cup caramel bits or chopped soft caramels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Optional:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bd cup chopped pecans or walnuts<\/li>\n<li>Flaky sea salt for topping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Instructions<\/h2>\n<h3>\u00a0Preheat the Oven<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Line an 8\u00d78-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter or nonstick spray. Set aside.<\/p>\n<h3>Mix the Wet Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.<br \/>\nAdd the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.<\/p>\n<h3>Combine the Dry Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.<br \/>\nGradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until combined \u2014 do not overmix.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Add the Caramel<\/h3>\n<p>Gently fold in the caramel bits (and nuts if using), making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.<\/p>\n<h3>Bake<\/h3>\n<p>Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.<br \/>\nBake for 22\u201326 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden, and the center is slightly soft. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Cool and Slice<\/h3>\n<p>Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps them set properly and makes cutting easier.<br \/>\nCut into 9 or 16 squares, depending on your preferred size.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Tips for Perfect Blondies<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>For extra gooey blondies, slightly underbake them.<\/li>\n<li>For firmer blondies, bake an additional 2\u20133 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty flavor contrast.<\/li>\n<li>Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These buttery caramel blondies are rich, chewy, and completely irresistible. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent dessert!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buttery Caramel Blondies Soft, chewy, and rich with buttery caramel flavor, these blondies are the perfect dessert for caramel lovers.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1820,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1819"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1821,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1819\/revisions\/1821"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
