_Sips coffee with a smirk_
Oh. My. Goodness. Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about this heavenly little creation that’s been making everyone in my house fight over the last piece. My Brown Butter Toffee Blondies with Sea Salt are literally what dreams are made of, and I’m not even exaggerating!
Listen, we all have those afternoon cravings when nothing but something sweet and utterly divine will do. This recipe is your answer, trust your girl on this one!
What you’ll need (because sharing is caring):
– 2 sticks unsalted butter
– 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
– 1½ cups packed brown sugar (the darker, the better honey!)
– 2 large eggs (room temp, pretty please)
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup toffee bits
– Sea salt flakes for sprinkling
– A pinch of determination 😉
Now, let me walk you through this magic (and yes, you can totally do this!):
1. First things first, brown that butter! Melt it in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. This takes about 5-7 minutes. Watch it like you’re watching your crush’s Instagram stories – carefully!
1. Let that gorgeous brown butter cool for about 10 minutes. Nobody likes scrambled eggs in their blondies!
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper. Trust me, this step is non-negotiable unless you enjoy chiseling desserts out of pans.

1. Mix your cooled brown butter with brown sugar until it looks like wet sand (but tastes way better).
1. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
1. Fold in flour gently – we’re making blondies, not working out at the gym!
1. Add those toffee bits and give it one final mix. Try not to eat all the batter (I know it’s hard, I’ve been there!).
1. Spread the mixture in your prepared pan and sprinkle with sea salt like you’re seasoning your ex’s wounds.
1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let these babies cool for at least 30 minutes – I know it’s torture, but I promise it’s worth it! The center should be slightly gooey while the edges are perfectly chewy.
Y’all, these blondies are seriously lifechanging. Like, “forget-your-ex’s-name” good. They’re perfect for afternoon tea, midnight snacks, or breakfast (I won’t judge!).
