    Have you ever used Kraft Caramel Bits? They are so tasty and perect for my Easy Caramel Pecan Blondies.

    When I first used them I wondered if they would just melt into nothing. Well, they didn’t. They stay in perfect shape.

    If you look closely in the photos of the cut blondies you can actually see them! They are pretty awesome.

    I’m not sure how they will work in cookies, but they are great in these Easy Caramel Pecan Blondies and other recipes that bake for 20 minutes or longer.

    The website has some unflavorable reviews warning against using them in cookies. I guess I’ll have to give them a try.

    How to make Easy Caramel Pecan Blondies:

    • Melt 2 sticks of butter in a small saucepan and let cool slightly.
    • Preheat oven to 350°. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan with melted butter.
    • In a large bowl whisk together melted butter, one cup brown sugar and one cup sugar until combined.
    • Add two eggs and two teaspoons vanilla and whisk until combined.
    • In a small bowl mix two cups flour and one teaspoon salt stirring until just combined. Do not over mix.
    • Stir in one cup caramel bits and one cup chopped pecans.

    • Allow bars to cool completely before cutting into sixteen squares.

    I chose to use pecans and caramel bits as mix-ins. Some other things you could mix-in are:

    • chocolate chips
    • butterscotch chips
    • mint chips
    • white chocolate chips
    • chopped pieces of your favorite candy bar
    • m & m’s
    • Reese’s Pieces
    • coconut
    • walnuts
    • pecans
    • almonds

      These look fabulous! I’m not much of a chocolate fan, so I’m always looking for desserts with other ingredients. I’m totally going to make these soon.
