Peanut Butter Blondies
If you’re a peanut butter fan, you’re going to love these peanut butter blondies! They’re loaded with peanut butter flavor and are so rich and chewy. They bake to perfection and are soft in the middle, yet crispy around the edges. Mmm…so, so good!
This blondie dessert tastes like a mix between a classic blondie, M&M bar and peanut butter bar. It’s got a great ratio of peanut butter and chocolate flavor and is absolute heaven. You’ll need a large glass of milk with these tasty bars. Perfection!
Can I freeze peanut butter blondies?
Yes, peanut butter blondies freeze very well. To freeze, simply wrap in foil and place in an airtight container or freezer bag. The blondie dessert will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Quick tips for peanut butter blondies
- Line your baking dish with foil for easy removal.
- For extra peanut butter flavor, use peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips.
- Place extra M&M’s on top prior to baking. This makes them look extra pretty. :)
- Use festive M&M’s around the holidays, like Valentine’s, Easter, Halloween and Christmas.
- Don’t overcook! They may look a little soft, but they’ll harden as they cool.
- Use a toothpick to make sure the center of your peanut butter blondies comes out clean.

Notes
Happy baking! Enjoy :)
These would be the death of me!! So, so good! Love reese’s in desserts!
Such a delicious blondies recipe! And don’t worry, I added plenty of extra M&Ms!;)
Anything peanut butter is my favorite and this sounds so so good.
Mmmmmm, Brownies… and Peanut butter! Thanks for the recipe!
These look great, just what I was searching for!!! What is pictured on top of these and when did you add them??
Hi Meaghan! I just added extra M&Ms on top at the end right before baking! :)
I love your recipes! Just tried the blondie one, but confused w/the 2.5 cups in the recipe list and then the 1 cup in the directions. I used 2.5 cups and ended up w/blondie bread. Which isn’t a bad thing….
The directions say add 1 cup of flour and then in the next step it says add the rest…..
Hi Becky! You will be adding 2 1/2 cups of flour total, sorry for the confusion!
Hi Judy! Sorry for the confusion. It is 2.5 cups but it should be more of a brownie texture! Blondie bread would be yummy though! :)
