I love taking something great and putting a new twist on it and that’s just what I did with these Peanut Butter Blondies. In 1928, Harry Burnett Reese invented the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in the basement of his home, and almost one hundred years later, these loved-by-many Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups top off my Peanut Butter Blondies like a crown jewel. I love peanut butter. Creamy or crunchy, licking it right off of a spoon, mixed with honey, Peanut Butter Cup Cookies, a gooey peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or my new favorite, a right-out-of-the-oven, chewy, chocolate, Peanut Butter Blondie. If someone isn’t a huge chocolate fan, these blondies have just the right balance of semi-sweet chocolate chips that compliment the chewy goodness of the Peanut Butter Blondies. Some Reese’s lovers, take the time to pick off each yummy peanut butter cup from the top of the blondie, and then bite into the chewy, peanut buttery bar. Others enjoy the perfect combination of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup with every chewy bite. No matter how you eat these, every bite explodes with your favorite flavors of peanut butter and chocolate.
These Peanut Butter Blondies will be perfectly moist for several days…if they last that long! They only take 30 minutes to make! This is the ultimate Blondie recipe since it incorporates Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups too. It’s the perfect treat for a weeknight dessert, parties, or just because. Chewy, simply, easy to make and eat!
Dark Brown Sugar: using dark brown sugar will helps give the blondies a slightly darker color, and a more robust taste. Peanut Butter: I love using a creamy peanut butter for this recipe but feel free to substitute crunchy peanut butter to boost the texture with a little nutty crunch. Chocolate Chips: Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips give you distinct pockets of semi-sweet chocolate but if you are looking for a healthier chocolate option, substitute dark chocolate with a high cocoa content. Milk: I use whole milk, but you can use 2% as a 1:1 replacement.
