As someone who developed a chocolate allergy as a teenager, I frequently battle cravings for brownies. Blondies sound like an appealing alternative, except for the fact that they’re often studded with pesky chocolate chips. That’s why I felt like I was receiving a personal present from Papa John himself when I learned that the pizza chain had released a new limited edition Salted Caramel Blondie, a delicious dessert with nary a speck of chocolate in sight.<\/p>\n
The ingredients it does contain, though, are up for debate. The name seems to make it quite clear, as does the Papa Johns website, which specifically cites “caramel chips.” But I confess: I’m not buying that story. That’s because the rich, orange-y brown chips happen to look, smell, and taste exactly like butterscotch chips. I wasn’t upset by that exactly, but I was confused!<\/p>\n
I thought that if the chips (which are embedded in the top layer of the blondie but don’t permeate throughout) didn’t scream salted caramel, then maybe the blondie itself would, but that wasn’t the case either. The blondie had perhaps a speck of saltiness, but I couldn’t detect any caramel. It had a sweet, buttery taste that could call to mind a lot of things, but, strangely enough, it reminded me most of a syrup-drenched waffle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Though a bit uncanny, the blondie tasted great, and its texture was just as good. While it wasn’t very thick, it was impressively dense. The fudgy texture of the inside contrasted appealingly with the perfectly crisp outer layer. I would have appreciated a bit more moistness\u2014this thing was more solid than any blondies I’ve made (which, believe me, is a lot!)\u2014but on the whole it felt closer to a homemade baked good than I expected.<\/p>\n
If you want to maximize bang for your buck, you can get the Salted Caramel Blondie as part of the Papa Pairing combos menu, which offers a discount if you purchase this dessert alongside at least one other item, but I enjoyed it even at full price.<\/p>\n

If you’re a die-hard salted caramel fan or an opponent of false advertising, you might be disappointed, but if you’re someone who just loves a good non-chocolate dessert, I think you should check the Salted Caramel Blondie out\u2026even if its flavor is a little ambiguous.<\/p>\n
