Blondie and Caramel Sauce

          Melted chocolate gooey cookie dough, and warm caramel is just a small insight of the blondie. As y dad put it "These are actually really good; there amazing!!!".

 Here is the recipe for these delights:
Ingredients:
-3/4 cup of butter
-1 and a half cup of brown sugar
-2 eggs 
-3/4 tsp. of vanilla
-2 and 1/4th cup of flour
-1 and 1/2 of baking powder
-1/4th tsp. of salt
-And about a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, butterscotch or white chocolate (optional)
Directions:
1. First preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and then butter it and flour it (just a little bit so that the cake doesn't stick) in a 9x13 inch baking pan
2. In a small sauce pan melt the butter. Put the brown sugar in a large bowl, add the butter, and stir to combing. Beat in eggs and vanilla (you could stir this but i use an electric mixer...the easy way).
3. In a medium, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients mixing just until smooth batter is formed. If using the chips (i would totally recommend stirring them in the batter).
4. Transfer the batter  to the prepared pan. Bake until browned and toothpick inserted in the center come out clean, about twenty minutes.
5. Cool the blondies in the pan and add caramel to your desire. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!!!
