Normally there is only one blondie in my life.
Her name is Lucy. She enjoys Play Doh, sunglasses, and tacos. Combs? Not so much.
But recently another blond has come into my life.
And these gooey peanut butter chocolate chip blondies are just as sweet as my walking (read: running), talking (read: broken record), taco-eating tot. The difference is, these you can have for yourself. Lucy is all mine.
To make them for yourself, gather some flour and salt, an egg, one stick of butter, vanilla extract, brown sugar, peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.
Begin by melting the butter in a large bowl. Short bursts in the microwave work just fine.
Once the butter has cooled slightly (too warm and it will cook the egg—no good), add the egg, the vanilla…
…and the brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
Stir in the flour and salt…
…and fold in the chips.
Spread into a 9×9″ pan that’s been greased with butter or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes, until slightly browned around the edges but still pale in the center. Let cool completely before slicing (I know, I know. But trust me).
Can a blondie be fudgy? Because that’s exactly the word to describe these gooey, peanut-buttery, chocolately treats that are ready in no time. You must have this blondie in your life. Plus, they require a lot less cleanup than my towheaded toddler.

I'm a stay-at-home-mom to two hilarious little girls in Seattle, married to one adorkable husband. When I'm not making messes in the kitchen and fishing the girls out of the toilet I'm working on my first fiction novel, due out when someone decides it's not total crap.
Delicious. Easy enough for even me to make!
LOVE the website–genius.
It looks especially good, I love all those ingredients togehert

Did you see that Thundering Hooves went under. Read it online today. I know you are aproponent of good, local, organic meat. Bummer.
I saw that. Total bummer! I’m hoping someone will buy them and take over operations. They had great meat.
Oh my!!! I want.

Not only do these look simply delicious, how much easier could prep be?? Any time-saver that can be found is golden for parents (as I’m sure you well know
) and this is dessert in no-time. Genius! Thanks for sharing! 
You just made my day…a dessert can’t any better than this!!
Just made these last night, except omitted the peanut butter chips in favor of putting creamy peanut butter straight into the dough! So wonderful- thanks for sharing this!
I admire the bars. They look lovely and I am positive that they taste splendelicious. And yes, I know that spell check just went nuts. But let’s be honest here. I check this March 17th blog just to click on the haveyouhadthatbabyyet link. Not yet! Nope! Love it.
