Fudge Stuffed Blondies

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups (213 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup (104 grams) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon (14 grams) unsalted butter
• 1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter, (melted)
• 1 cup (200 grams) light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 cup (127 grams) all-purpose flour

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 by 8-inch pan with foil or parchment. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan set over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Heat, stirring often, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir in the egg and vanilla until smooth. Add in the salt and flour and stir until just combined. The mixture will be thick.

4. 4

   Spread half of the blondie batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Using your hands, pick up portions of the fudge filling, flatten with your palms, and top the batter with pieces of the flattened fudge evenly. Spread the remaining blondie batter over the fudge evenly to cover completely.

5. 5

   Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden on the outside but still fudgy and moist on the inside. It’s better to under-bake than over-bake here! Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
