Chocolate and peanut butter….have you met a better combo??
There’s no shortage of peanut butter and chocolate recipes in the world, but you need this one. The chocolate and peanut butter flavor is subtle enough that both chocolate and peanut butter lovers will be happy. Not to mention, the blondie base is soft and chewy.
If you need a quick, 1-bowl dessert recipe look no further! The hardest part of the recipe is peeling all the peanut butter cups. (And make sure to peel a few extra to enjoy while the blondies cook.)
I debated throwing the peanut butter cups in chocolate brownies, but I thought it might be chocolate overload. I love a good chocolatey chocolate recipe, but sometimes my taste buds need a break. Instead, I settled for a good blondie.
It’s important to chop the peanut butter cups to evenly distribute them in the batter.
As for the additional chocolate chips, it’s optional but highly recommended. I used mini chocolate chips, but you could also use chocolate chunks. Or peanut butter chips!
My family are big fans of the peanut butter and chocolate combo. Some recipes in constant rotation for us include frozen chocolate peanut butter pie (at every party, ever), chocolate peanut butter blossoms (the classic holiday cookie), and chocolate peanut butter rice krispies treats.
