Reese's Pieces Chocolate Peanut Butter Blondies

Ever make a recipe that seems so simple, yet everyone raves about them and wants the recipe?

That’s the perfect way to describe these Peanut Butter Blondies baked in a loaf pan – a layer of peanut butter bars topped with a thin layer of chocolate and Reese’s Pieces.

They are so easy to throw together, you don’t even need to break out the mixer. Grab a whisk, grab the recipe, and soon you will have these delicious blondies to snack on.

I originally made this recipe with Easter M&Ms (and no peanut butter) because I had a bag to use up around the holiday. The coworkers devoured them in no time, so I wanted to make another version.

After staring at the bag of Reese’s Pieces in the pantry, I thought why not do a peanut butter version?

I used Reese’s Pieces in the blondies themselves then topped them like sprinkles on top.

These blondies can easily be made for last minute events and celebrations.

You do have to wait for the bars to cool in order to add the melted chocolate, but they are still delicious without that layer.

If you know you’re not doing the chocolate, I would scrape the batter into the pan then top with the Reese’s Pieces and gently push them into the top of the batter. Instant topping.
