Steps To Make Pecan Praline Blondies:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a 13×9″ baking pan. Line it with foil making sure to leave some overhang on the sides, for removal. Grease the foil using cooking spray. Set it aside.

Step 3: Once it has cooled down a bit whisk in the eggs and vanilla until everything is thoroughly mixed. Add in the salt, baking powder and flour stirring until you get a batter.

Step 4: Pour this batter into your pan. Spread it evenly. Bake for 19 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let the blondies cool completely.

Step 5: While they are cooling off clean out your saucepan. Place it back on the stove. To make praline icing combine butter and brown sugar in this saucepan and bring them to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly for 2 minutes.

Step 6: Next, add cream to this mixture in the saucepan. Bring it back, to a boil again. Remove from heat. Let it cool down slightly for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 7: Once cooled down enough stir in sugar until you get a smooth consistency. Then fold in chopped pecans.
