- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons Irish cream, (such as Bailey's)

For the Blondies
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350˚F and butter a 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper; leaving an overhang on each side to use as a handle to remove the cooked blondies.
Step 2
Add the butter to a large microwave safe bowl and sprinkle the espresso powder on top. Melt butter in the microwave using 30 second intervals until completely melted.
Step 3
Add dark brown sugar to melted butter and whisk until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and whisk, followed by Irish cream and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
Step 4
Add flour, baking powder and salt and fold together until no streaks of flour remain. Fold in half the chopped chocolate, then pour into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the batter into an even layer, then sprinkle with remaining chocolate and flaky sea salt. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown but the center is still quite soft.
Step 5
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing.
