There is something amazing and decedent about blondies. We really love them here and these pear and salted caramel blondies are naughty but as they do contain fruit I guess they also count as one of your five a day… right?!

I am not normally a fan of white chocolate but I am a fan of blondies and when you add salted caramel then my mouth starts watering. Pear and Salted Caramel Blondies are gooey, chewy, moist, and addictive. They are also a real treat and not your normal blondies.

The secret is using really good quality salted caramel and swirling the top with a small amount too.

I have mentioned that we have a glut of pears this year, so I have been expanding my pear recipes and this is a great addition. I also discovered that pears do not ripen on the tree, so you have to store them and wait or if you are like me then peel, core and chop then simmer in water until soft.

There really is something about the combination of pears and caramel that makes these blondies amazing.
