How to Make Pecan Blondie Caramel Cups Pillsbury

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup packed light brown sugar.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg, mixing well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, blending until just combined.
  7. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. While the blondies bake, prepare the caramel topping: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup caramels with 2 tablespoons water, stirring constantly until smooth.
  10. Immediately after removing the blondies from the oven, place 1 teaspoon of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the center of each cup.
  11. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the warm caramel over the chocolate chips in each cup.
  12. Top each caramel cup with a pecan half.
  13. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Enjoy!
