Now technically it is not really a caramel sauce. More of a brown sugar sauce. But it looks and tastes like caramel sauce and is infinitely more easy to make.
Bourbon, with its hints of caramel and vanilla really complements the flavor of the sauce. I’m currently fantasizing about how good it would be drizzled on a warm apple crumble or apple pie, or apple anything really. With the temperature hitting close to 90 degrees today, I must be dreaming of fall weather already.
A plain blondie or brownie is by itself one of my absolute favorite sweet treats. I’ll take them over cookies any day, a cake most days, and pie? It depends on the pie. I do so love pies as well.
Blondies are best when they are moist, rich, and exceptionally buttery. These blondies are all of those things and more.
These Chocolate Chip Blondies with Caramel-Bourbon Sauce would be an easy dessert to make for a summer cookout. Everything can be made ahead of time and assembled last minute. If the caramel sauce thickens up too much, just microwave it for a few seconds.
Dripping with ooey, gooey Caramel-Bourbon Sauce, no one will be able to resist these blondies. Promise.
