Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks with a few reserved for the top of the blondies
  • cup pecans chopped (reserve a few for the top of the blondies)
  • ¼ cup dulce de leche
  • sea salt for sprinkling on top of the blondies

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the melted butter and brown sugar together until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until combined.
  • Add the salt and flour, and mix until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks and pecans.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan in an even layer. Dollop the dulce de leche on top of the batter at random, and use a knife to drag it around, swirling it throughout the blondies. Press the reserved pieces of chocolate and nuts into the top of the blondies.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes, or until the blondies are set in the middle.  
  • Remove the blondies from the oven, sprinkle some sea salt on top, and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
