Prepare the Caramel Sauce

  3. Stir in the sea salt and set aside to cool slightly.
Make the Blondie Batter

  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until combined.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the crushed pretzel pieces.
Combine and Bake
  1. Pour half of the blondie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  2. Drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over the batter.
  3. Spread the remaining blondie batter on top and drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce over it.
  4. Use a knife to swirl the caramel into the batter gently.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
