If Reese's is your go-to candy, something tells me you will be all over these chocolate peanut butter blondies. This sweet treat takes that flavor combination you know and love and transforms it into a tasty blondie.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Blondies
Blondies are one of my favorite desserts to make. They are quick, usually made in one bowl, and allow for loads of mix-ins to create great flavor combinations. Like their cousin, the brownie, they are cut into bars and have their signature corner pieces and crinkle top.
What I love about blondies is that they always let the mix-ins shine. In this case, the peanut butter and chocolate combo is the star of the show. The blondies get a double dose of peanut butter with pb mixed into the batter and with peanut butter chips. The chocolate chips tie it all together to make one true mouthwatering bite.

Tips and Variation
