Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies

These Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Blondies are soft, buttery and perfectly chewy. With the perfect flavor combination of chocolate and peanut butter. These fantastic little treasures great for enjoying anytime and perfect for sharing! 

Remember those old Reece’s commercials on television where someone said “you go got chocolate in my peanut butter”? It was a long, long time ago but I still think about it when I’m making any chocolate peanut butter dessert. After all chocolate and peanut butter are always so delicious together. Some of my favorite chocolate and peanut butter treats are these Chocolate Peanut Butter Haystacks and these Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies. 

How to make Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Blondies:

Ingredients: 

• semi-sweet chocolate chips
• creamy peanut butter
• brown sugar
• unsalted butter
• vanilla extract
• eggs
• all purpose flour
• salt
• baking powder
• sea salt flakes (optional)

Equipment: 

• Stand mixer or handheld electric mixer
• Mixing bowls
• 9×9 inch baking pan 
• Parchment paper (optional) 
• Instructions: 
• Preheat oven to 350°F 

Instructions: 

1. In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar on low. Add the peanut butter to the mixture and continue beating together until combined.
2. Add the eggs plus one yolk to the bowl beating on low until combined into the mixture. 
3. In a separate bowl combine all the dry ingredients. Then add to the wet mixture. Mix on low until everything combines. Fold in the chocolate chips. 
4. Pour into an 9×9 inch pan and place a few chocolate chips over the top for decoration. 
5. Bake for 30 minutes, the blondies should still be a little wobbly when you remove them from the oven. 
6. Allow the blondies to cool for 15 minutes before slicing.

Substitutions and Variations: 

• These blondies can be made in an 8×8 inch pan I have a 9×9 inch but if your have a smaller pan the recipe will turn out fine.

• You can easily swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips for another flavor or add-in here are some suggestions: dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanuts or walnuts.

• Make these blondies festive! For Halloween add Reece’s Pieces. For Christmas or Valentine’s Day try adding holiday themed M&M’s candies. 

My Tips and Notes for this recipe: 

• Every oven is different, I recommend checking the blondies towards the last 20-25 minutes. Like with brownies, it is better to underbake these blondies rather than run the risk of over baking them.

• The edges will bake faster than the center and may be a little dryer when you take them out of the pan. These can be easily cut off before serving if you prefer. 

• This recipe is easy to double to do so just increase the number of servings in the recipe card below. 

I hope you and your family will love this recipe as much as we do! If you do try this recipe please come back and leave a comment letting me know how much you liked it! 

Happy Baking Y’all!
