Ingredients & Substitutions

Butter: Two sticks of unsalted butter provide richness, flavor, and moisture to the blondies. If using salted butter, you may want to lessen the amount of salt in the recipe.

White Chocolate: White chocolate chips will give you the white chocolate flavor. Half of the chips are melted with the butter; the other half is folded in right before baking the bars. You could also use a bar of white chocolate, chopped into smaller pieces.

Sugar: Blondies are often made with brown sugar, but I used all granulated sugar in these for the sweetness, and they turned out perfectly!

Eggs: You will need a total of three eggs for this recipe. Only add the yolk from the third egg.

Pretzels: For the saltiness and crunch, miniature twist pretzels are chopped and added to the batter as well as to the top of the blondies. You could use different-shaped pretzels, chopped. But, they may affect the texture and appearance of the bars.

Can I Use A Different Type Of Chocolate?

Yes, you can certainly make these blondies with a different type of chocolate. If preferred, you could try the blondies with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or a combination of chocolate.

How To Store White Chocolate Pretzel Blondies

To store white chocolate pretzel blondies, first, let them cool completely. Next, cut them into individual bars or squares. Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Freezing Blondies

For longer storage, freeze the blondies. First, let them cool completely. Then, after cutting into your preferred size bars, store them in a freezer-safe container. Label and date the packaging; they can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, let the bars thaw at room temperature.
