Sweet and crunchy pretzel bars that are so good, you’ll want to double the batch!

Salted Caramel Pretzel Blondies - Sweet and crunchy pretzel bars that are so good, you'll want to double the batch!

Ever since I was a kid, I never had much of a sweet tooth. It may have been because my mother never let me near any kind of chocolate, candy or soda. But growing up, or actually in the last 2 years, I’ve discovered the world of salted caramel, and boy have I been missing out.

So when I saw these salted caramel pretzel blondies over at Averie Cooks, I just knew I had to make them immediately for The Leftovers Club. I mean, I have a lot of lost time to make up for, right?

Now about these blondies – they not only came together so quickly (they don’t even require a mixer!) but it actually takes almost no effort to put together. And just after 30 minutes of baking, you’ll have the most wonderfully soft yet crunchy bars, oozing with sticky, caramel goodness. It’s a blend of so many textures and flavors, leaving you wanting more and more, so don’t blame me if you happen to finish the entire pan yourself!
