If you are a peanut butter fan, like me, you need to make these Peanut Butter Chocolate Blondies. I’m putting a spin on a classic chocolate peanut butter cup and making it into a delicious dessert. This dessert is a chewy cookie topped with chocolate and peanut butter!
Preheat the oven to 350 and line an 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Whisk in the peanut butter. Whisk vigorously for about 30-45 seconds.
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Whisk them together.
Switch to a rubber spatula. Fold in the flour, salt, and baking powder, all at once.
Evenly press the dough into the prepared pan.
Bake for 22-25 minutes. Mine took 25 minutes, but my oven tends to run a little cool.
For the ganache
In a microwave proof bowl, heat the cream until it becomes bubbly. While the cream is heating, add the chocolate wafers to a small bowl.
Once the cream is hot, add it to the chocolate. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for 5 minutes, Stir to combine.
Assembly
Once the bars have cooled slightly, pour the warm ganache on top and drizzle the melted peanut butter across the ganache. Top with crushed peanut butter cups.
