If you enjoy the sweet and salty combination, then this dish is for you! These Salted Caramel Blondies are the ideal balance of quick and indulgent. A simple batter comes together in minutes, and a silky ribbon of caramel is swirled across the top; wonderful! They’re simple enough to prepare on a weekday but luxurious enough to steal the spotlight at a potluck or holiday event.

With this recipe, you don’t have to make compromises! The recipe for these blondies comes together quickly. Simply melt the butter, stir in the brown sugar until light and smooth, and then whisk in the eggs and vanilla. A gentle fold of the dry ingredients (plus optional white chocolate chips if you’re feeling decadent) yields a thick base. All it needs now is caramel!

Melt Kraft caramel squares in the microwave with a splash of heavy cream until smooth and pourable. Drizzle it in a zigzag pattern over the batter, then marble it into the top using a knife or toothpick. After the blondies have baked to golden perfection, sprinkle with flaky sea salt for the finishing touch. It’s ideal to let the blondies cool before slicing, but don’t feel bad if you can’t wait. Whether served fresh with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or packed for a picnic, these blondies never last very long. Happy baking!
