Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted

2 cups packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons 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 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Sea salt flakes, for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

    Make the Blondie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and slightly glossy.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined (be careful not to overmix).

          Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Prepare for Caramel: Spread half of the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it into an even layer with a spatula.

              Add Caramel: Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the batter, then use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl it through the batter. Do not overmix; you want ribbons of caramel throughout.

                Top with Remaining Batter: Spoon the remaining blondie batter over the caramel layer, spreading it out carefully. Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover the caramel completely; it will spread as it bakes.

                  Finish with Caramel and Sea Salt: Drizzle a bit more caramel sauce over the top of the blondies, and sprinkle sea salt flakes generously on top for that perfect sweet and salty flavor.

                    Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

                      Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to lift them out. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.

                        Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature, and relish the rich, sweet, and salty flavors!
