With a whiskey-caramel sauce, these toffee blondies are so rich, decadent and delicious that you’ll wonder why you haven’t combined these flavors sooner!

If I could eat dessert for breakfast, lunch and dinner without any consequences (like that waistline), I honestly would. I’d have apple crisp for breakfast, ice cream for lunch and brownies or cake for dinner, switching it up from day to day. 

But for dessert (because let’s face it, there’s always dessert), I’d have Toffee Blondies with Whiskey-Caramel Sauce every day.

Combining bold ingredients, like toffee, whiskey and caramel, is the new trend in baking right now. And these blondies feature all three flavors prominently in one seriously decadent treat. Although they taste like something fancy and difficult to make, they’re actually quite simple. 

All it takes is a really great base, like Betty Crocker’s SuperMoist® French vanilla cake mix. Stir some yummy toffee bits into the batter, top it all off with a ooey-gooey homemade caramel sauce spiked with whiskey and you’ve got yourself a delightfully indulgent recipe.

Don’t be put off by having to make your own caramel sauce. The recipe provides a foolproof way of preparing it without any fuss. There is nothing like this unique sauce that’s made with whiskey and heavy cream. It really is a great way to top off a tasty toffee blondie…or any dessert for that matter.

Ingredients

  • Caramel Sauce
    • 1cup granulated sugar
    • 1/3cup water
    • 1/2teaspoon lemon juice
    • 1/4cup whiskey
    • 1/2cup whipping cream
  • Blondies
    • 1box Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ French Vanilla Cake Mix
    • 1/3cup butter, melted
    • 2tablespoons water
    • 2eggs
    • 1cup toffee bits

Directions

  • 1To make caramel sauce, in 1-quart saucepan, mix sugar, 1/3 cup water and the lemon juice. Heat over medium-high heat until bubbles form and mixture is simmering. DO NOT STIR but occasionally lift saucepan from heat and very gently swirl mixture while sugar is heating. In about 10 minutes, sugar will start to caramelize; resist the urge to stir. Simmer until mixture is a rich, dark amber color. Remove from heat.
  • 2Immediately, and very carefully, stir in whiskey. Add whipping cream; stir to combine. Cook over medium-low heat about 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • 3To make blondies, heat oven to 350°F if using glass baking dish or shiny metal pan (325°F for dark or nonstick metal pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch baking dish or pan with cooking spray.
  • 4In large bowl, stir together cake mix, butter, 2 tablespoons water and the eggs. Stir in toffee bits. Spread mixture evenly in baking dish. Carefully drizzle about one-third of the caramel sauce evenly over top of mixture.
  • 5Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • 6Drizzle another one-third of the caramel sauce over bars; set aside remaining one-third of sauce for a later use. Let bars stand about 30 minutes or until caramel is set.
  • 7Cut bars into 6 rows by 2 rows; then cut each bar diagonally in half to form triangles.
