Toffee Blondies

Brownies were requested for the treat for FHE. Brownies seem to be the favorite request and I was ready to try something new! My little guy was up for the experiment and it ended up being a good one! These brownies are definitley NOT overly sweet, in fact adding a little caramel sauce to this treat would be oh soooo good!
They were simple and were made in an 8 x 8 pan, which meant not alot of left overs for those of us trying to eat healthier! Or maybe we are just trying to exercise more so we can eat brownies!! Whatever it may be, these turned out to be a yummy and easy treat!
Toffee Blondies
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar (or you could use a combo of both light and dark)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla (one of the notes said she used almond extract and loves it this way now)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 cup toffee bits
Preheat oven to 350. Line the bottom and sides of an 8 inch square pan with foil, leaving an overhang on 2 sides.
Cream butter and brown sugar together until smooth. Beat in eggs, vanilla and salt, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Add the flour on low speed until combined. Stir in the toffee bits.
Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely in pan.
Lift the blondies out by the foil handles. Cut and enjoy!!
