Salted Caramel Blondie Skillet
This salted caramel blondie skillet is a decadent single serve dessert loaded with creamy white chocolate chips and swirls of rich caramel throughout.

Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 Tbsp (36g) light brown sugar
- 2 tsp (8g) granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (35g) all purpose flour
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp mini white chocolate chips
- 5 Werther’s Original chewy caramel candies
- 1 tsp heavy cream
- Additional caramel candies, as desired, for drizzling over the ice cream
- Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 5 inch cast iron skillet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Whisk in the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Transfer half of the batter to the prepared skillet, setting aside the remaining batter.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring between each, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
- Drizzle half of the melted caramel over the batter in the skillet. Spread the remaining batter over the top, then drizzle with the remaining caramel. Use a knife or chopstick to gently swirl the caramel throughout the batter.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey. Allow to cool briefly before serving.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, flaky sea salt and additional caramel drizzle, if desired (see notes below on caramel drizzle!).
Notes
For the most accurate and consistent results, I recommend measuring your ingredients in grams using a kitchen scale. Baking is a science, and weighing your ingredients helps ensure the perfect blondie every time!
Optional Caramel Drizzle (Topping)
For extra caramel over your vanilla ice cream, combine 2 Werther’s Original chewy caramel candies with ½ tsp heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Pour over ice cream with some flaky sea salt and enjoy!
