Blondies:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment paper.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking the butter as it melts and begins to brown. Cook and whisk the butter until it gives off a nutty aroma and is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Don't let it burn! Pour the butter into a large mixing bowl. Allow to cool for 15 - 30 minutes.
Add the brown and granulated sugars, eggs and vanilla to the browned butter; mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt; mix until just incorporated.
Add toffee bits, crushed pretzels, dark and white chocolate chips; mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. It will be a thick dough, similar to chocolate chip cookie dough.
Evenly pat dough into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is deeply golden brown and the center is set. The blondies might jiggle a little bit in the center, but will set-up during cooling.
Allow to cool to room temperature before cutting into squares.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
24 servings.
