Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup packed brown sugar, divided
• ¼ cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup milk
• 12 soft square caramels (about 3.5 oz), wrappers removed and cut into fourths
• 1 cup boiling water

Directions

• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In another bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together ½ cup of the brown sugar and the butter until creamy. Stir in vanilla. Stir in ⅓ of the flour mixture, followed by ⅓ of the milk. Continue adding the flour and milk, making another 2 additions of each and beating well after each addition. Stir in the caramels. Spread the batter evenly into the bottom of a 4- to 5-quart slow cooker.
• Combine the remaining ½ cup of brown sugar and the boiling water and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Pour evenly over the batter.
• Cover and cook on high for 2½ to 3 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the blondie comes out clean. Serve topped with ice cream, if desired.
