Salted Caramel Blondie Brownies

Salted caramel desserts are all the rage right now, aren't they? I love anything with that combo of flavors. So when a friend and I went to dinner the other day, we split something like this. I knew I could make it at home and I have to say....I think this turned out better than what we had in the restaurant. I used caramel bits instead of chocolate chips but you could certainly use the chocolate and this would be delicious. I just wanted a total caramel extravaganza going on....and I got exactly what I'd envisioned! Totally yummy!!

Salted Caramel Blondie Brownies



1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
