You are going to mix the peanut butter blondie batter and mix in the peanut butter chips. You can also use ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips if you wanted to make these dairy free. Or, just mix in peanuts.

Press the batter into a parchment lined 13×9 baking pan and bake at 350 for 35 minutes.

It will come out looking like this….now, you can stop here and eat and enjoy. OR you can kick them up a notch.

Purchase a can of chocolate frosting. Yes, you can make your own….but this makes it easier. Take the lid off and the foil, then pop it in the microwave for about 1 minute. Checking half way through.  Stir, and it will be a pourable consistency. Pour over top of the baked blondies.

Spread it out evenly.  Now you can top with chopped peanuts, chocolate chips, or really whatever floats your boat…or just leave them like this. Pop them into the fridge for a few hours to cool..

You can see I made mine half and half. Remove from the fridge and slice. Keep in mind that these are rich…so smaller might not be a bad idea.

It doesn’t get much better than this.
