These blondies have everything you love about a classic Drumstick cone. Soft brown butter blondies packed with chocolate chunks, salted toffee bits, and waffle cone pieces. They’re gooey, chewy, and absolutely delicious!
Ingredients you’ll need
- Butter: This recipe calls for brown butter, which is butter that has been cooked until the milk solids turn golden brown and develop a nutty, toasty flavor. It’s a simple ingredient but takes these bars to the next level. Click here for some tips and tricks to perfecting your brown butter!
- Brown and granulated sugar: We like to use a combination of light brown sugar and granulated sugar which gives a beautiful golden brown color and makes the blondies soft and moist.
- Egg and egg yolk: The eggs are essential for binding the ingredients together and the yolk helps with the texture and softness of the blondie.
- Flour: Nothing fancy here, just some all-purpose flour.
- Waffle cones: They add that signature crispy, slightly sweet flavor similar to the cone part of a Drumstick ice cream.
- Toffee: Toffee bits are small, crunchy pieces of caramelized sugar mixed with butter.
- Chopped chocolate: Using chopped chocolate creates pools of melty chocolate giving that gooeyness that we all love!
How to Make Salted Toffee
01. Prepare the baking sheet
Make sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper before you start! You’ll want the tray ready to go so you can pour the toffee when it’s done.
02. Melt the butter and sugar
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the butter is completely melted and the sugar is dissolved.
03. Cook the toffee
Once the sugar and butter are melted, continue cooking the mixture, stirring every 10 seconds. The mixture will gradually turn golden brown. As you stir, the toffee will slowly turn a medium-dark golden brown color. Continue stirring and cooking for about 10 minutes (it may take less time depending on the heat of your stove). Once you see the desired color, remove from the heat immediately to keep it from burning.
04. Sprinkle with flaky salt
Pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet pan and spread into an even layer. Generously sprinkle flaky salt on top.
05. Cool and break into bits
Allow the toffee to cool completely. Then, break it into pieces.
