Caramel Pecan Blondies

Craving dessert? Me, always! This batch of Caramel Pecan Blondies are irresistible and melt-in-your-mouth good!

I may have devoured 6 to myself… in one sitting.

The other day, I had a spontaneous craving for brownies. I was discussing brownies with my friend Josh (Who is also our travel contributor!), and he sent over a recipe that I just had to try.

I headed over to my pantry, only to discover that I ran out of cocoa powder. Darn it!

So what was the next best thing?

Then I realized: blondies… delicious, sweet and melt-in-your-mouth blondies.

I made it my mission to create a batch of my own.

What Are Blondies?

In my eyes, blondies are a dessert that deserve their own praise. They are definitely not a runner-up to brownies and should never live in its shadow. Ever!

…but this is coming from a dessert enthusiast, who has a baffling love for all-things-sweet.

Blondies are a dense yet, moist cake that pulls its primary flavours from melted butter and brown sugar. This is probably why so many get reminded of butterscotch as soon as they take their first bite.
