Chocolate Peanut Butter Blondies Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray.
• In large bowl, beat brown sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in peanut butter, vanilla and eggs until well blended. Stir in flour and baking powder. Stir in chocolate chunks. Spread in pan.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until set and golden brown. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 1 hour. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Beat peanut butter and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat brown sugar into peanut butter mixture. Beat eggs into peanut butter mixture 1 at a time, beating well after each addition; add vanilla extract.
• Gradually sift flour into peanut butter mixture and mix until batter is well-combined. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread evenly in the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the blondies comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool in the baking dish for 15 minutes before slicing into 24 bars. Remove to a wire rack to cool until just warm.

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the middle of your oven and preheat the oven to 350.
• Using a 20" length of aluminum foil, line a 13x9 baking pan. You should have a few inches left on each short end with which to lift the brownies out when they are done. Grease the foil well with shortening or butter.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the melted, cooled butter, and the brown sugar. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla. Whisk in the peanut butter until combined.
• Add the flour mixture to the large bowl and stir just until combined. (don't overmix). Stir in the peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, and chopped peanuts.
• Spread the batter in the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking time. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - no more than a few crumbs should remain on the toothpick. They're probably done by now, but if the toothpick has batter sticking to it, bake for another 5 minutes.
• Place the entire pan on a wire rack to cool for 1 hour. (otherwise they are too soft to remove).
• Using the ends of the foil, carefully lift the blondies out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into bars and remove from foil. Mine don't stick to the foil at all (I grease it liberally) so when I cut them, I don't cut into the foil and they remove easily. If yours are sticking, check the bottoms of your blondies for bits of foil. I haven't had that problem with this recipe, but I have with other, stickier, recipes, and nobody likes to bite into a piece of foil!
• They should still be slightly warm and gooey after the 1 hour. Enjoy them that way, and store any leftovers tightly covered.
