These are the BEST blondies you’ll ever eat. Caramel Toffee Blondies have a nutty toffee base, chewy caramel center and a light crunchy top. All in the most buttery moist blondie ever! You’ll find it difficult saying no to another bite.
Can I toot my own horn here? Can I? I mean seriously, these blondies are the BEST and I’m not just saying this because I made them. I’ve made plenty of things in my life so for me to deem something as the “best”, I better be damn sure that it is and this one, I know I nailed!
You might recall my White Chocolate Butterscotch Blondies made a year ago, this recipe is a remake of the same blondies. Only difference is the substitution of toffee chips for the white chocolate & butterscotch morsels and the addition of creamy caramel. By the way, if you don’t know how great toffee is, my Toffee Bars explains it all. Needless to say, they are a-ma-zing!
As you may already know, adding caramel to just about anything, is always a plus. It transformed this pre-existing moist blondie-base into a more chewy and even a more savory, irresistible treat. Talk about throwing your diet right out the window! Don’t even think about trying to be good if you make these. SOO addicting. I struggled resisting the temptation of eating the entire batch while shooting these photos. Kept thinking I needed to hurry so I can pack it up and give them away quickly and I mean QUICKLY.
I did however, save a piece for Wes. He’s much more of a salty-crunchy type of guy, although lately that’s changed a bit but every now and then I’ll have to beg him to taste test. By the way, if you don’t know, having someone who’s not really into sweets can be your worst critic. But having him ask for more AND seeing him walk his hips downstairs to the concierge (where I left them) to grab more, made my jaw drop. That’s when I knew, I didn’t fail with these. He loved it and I hope you do too! 🙂
