1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped pretzels
-
3/4 cup caramel bits

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth (about 2 minutes).
-
Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated (about 1 minute).
-
Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until combined—do not overmix (about 2 minutes).
-
Fold in the chopped pretzels, caramel bits, and mini chocolate chips (about 1 minute).
-
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle with extra pretzels and sea salt flakes.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
-
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan (about 45 minutes) before slicing into bars.
Notes
-
For a richer flavor, brown the butter before mixing it with the sugars.
-
Feel free to swap in toffee bits or chopped nuts for extra crunch.
-
Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
