Servings 12 blondies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅔ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 ¾ cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup Kraft Caramel Bits
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ⅔ cup mini pretzel twists broken into coarse pieces - I used 20 Rold Gold Tiny Twists
- flakey sea salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with foil or parchment and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until well combined. Gradually add in dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in caramel bits, chocolate chips, and pretzel pieces.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 to 38 minutes. If desired, top immediately with a little flakey sea salt. Remove pan to wire rack and cool completely before cutting.
