Moist mouth watering bars topped with rich peanut butter frosting .These yummy treats disappear in my home. If you like, reserve a few of the chocolate chips to sprinkle on top for decoration.
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup peanut butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together 3/4 cup of butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and yolk one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and 6 tablespoons peanut butter. Blend in the sifted ingredients and stir in the chocolate chips. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely before frosting.
Step 4
To make the frosting, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup peanut butter together in a medium bowl. Mix in the confectioners sugar until smooth, then gradually stir in milk until a spreadable consistency is reached. Cut, serve and enjoy!

A very good recipe if you’re a peanut butter cup fan. Add a little more white sugar and peanut butter if you don’t plan on frosting them. Have plenty of cold milk on hand!
-
I made these for the first time ever. I brought them to an annual crawfish party my husband’s co-workers have every year and got alot of compliments on these. They were the best desert there! Thanks for such a good recipe!
-
I tried these with the frosting. The frosting is great, however the blondies are dry and dense, not chewy and rich as I was expecting. I will not make these again, but might save the frosting for another time.
-
we really like this one, but found the frosting on the blondies alittle to sweet. i now make them less the frosting, and they are really good. thank you for the recipe.
-
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, like eating a peanut butter cup from the inside out!!! You could only make half of the frosting and still have plenty.
-
Terrific! I made these brownies today but I used a chocolate brownie frosting instead of the peanut butter one listed. This is a realy keeper of a recipe, and will be included in my Christmas cookie baking. An afterthought: if you decide to use chocolate frosting like I did, decoratively drizzle the peanut butter frosting over the bars.

I made these for my husband’s birthday and he loved them. Can be eaten with or without the frosting. Very moist and chewy. This is a keeper!! -
these are absolutely great!!! I love these – I made them for a party and when I was trying it I decided to eat all of it alone.
The frosting is the best!!! Try it!!! Don`t leave anything of it out – my whole family and all our friends could`nt stop eating 😀 -
Kind of a bar cookie consistency, VERY good!
-
VERY VERY GOOD! Just one note, the amount of icing is more than enough. You could make 1/2 as much and still have plenty. SO GOOD, my husband loved them! Thanks Erica!
-
Haven’t met a person yet who doesn’t love these.
-
Moist, slightly chewy and a nice change from the all chocolate brownie.
-
my mom used to make these when i was little, and this recipe certainly does those memories justice! i use white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet, and everyone loves them. thanks!
-
There are excellent. I did not make the frosting though, I thought it would be too sweet for my taste. The bars themselves are very good and have a nice texture. I will make these again.
-
These are amazing! I only used half the frosting and they were still awesome! They were moist and dense. Will definately make again!
-
EXCELLENT!! the frosting made way too much though, next time i’m going to cut it in half and that will still be plenty!
-
These were a little dry. The frosting was delicious- you do only need half of the recipe. I probably won’t make them again.
-
Two stars for the frosting! I was so disappointed in these! They sounded delicious, however, I cooked my 5 minutes longer than stated, and they still weren’t done. I’d say they need to be cookies 35-40 minutes. I noticed other reviewers didn’t have this problem though. I followed the recipe exactly except that I cut the frosting in half (and trust me, save your ingredients…you only need half of what the frosting recipe calls for!!) The frosting is to die for, and I will use it for other recipes. Unfortunately I had to throw away the entire middle of my brownies and could only keep the outside edges (and even they were gooier than I like..and I like gooey brownies!) They truly appeared done, and since they’re “blond”, it was hard to see on a toothpick, but they did look done. Sigh. Oh well. I won’t try it again. Thanks anyway.
-
These blondies came out tasteless and dry….one word… grosssssssssss! Icing was out of this world though.
-
I would rate 6 stars – if possible
this recipe is absolutely the best!!! My husband loves this one and it is not easy to impress him… besides I?m very critical! The cake itself is easy to prepare and tastes wonderful, but in combination with the frosting makes it absolutely delicious!!!
It will melt in your mouth -
Way too sweet. Very heavy. Took longer to cook than recipe stated. Will not make again.
-
My family and I really liked this. The bar itself was delicious, though I used a different icing recipe, as I found this one too sweet and a little grainy. I also substituted peanut butter chips for the chocolate chips.
-
These turned out pretty dry and bland.If you want something simple tasting,and not to sweet,this recipe would be an okay option.Not a big hit with my family.
-
My kid and husband liked these, but they were a little dense and too sweet for my
taste. The frosting would have made these inedibly sweet, so I left it off.
I just kept it on the side for those with sweet tooths to put on themselves. -
these were really good. Not sure if I overcooked them a little but they were a little on the dry side. I made them for a group of ment and they loved them. I will make them again
-
These are ok, but I doubt I’ll make them again. The edges baked too much because the middle wasn’t even close to being done. The frosting is too much, some of the middle pieces were 1/2 blondie, 1/2 frosting…too much. And, I’m not sure about all of the peaunt butter. You have to really, really love peanut butter, otherwise it is too overwhelming.
-
These turned out *so* good! So moist, so delicious, and the frosting on top went perfectly with the bar. A definite keeper recipe.
-
These bars were really good. I cut down on the peanut butter and added chopped roasted peanuts and chocolate chips to the batter, then sprinkled the same on top prior to baking. I drizzled some ganache to dress them up a bit.
-
I have tried other Blondie recipes and my family and I have always been disapppointed in them until now.I read the other reviews before trying the recipe and was a little hesitant at first. There was no need to be, they came out wonderfully. These are moist and delicious and have a great peanut butter flavor.Perhaps the ones who said they were dry and tasteless overcooked them? These are a truly decadent cookie.I will be making them again.
-
This is my second time making these Blondies. I Love them. They will only come out dry if you over cook them. The frosting I cut in half and it was just right!:) Will keep this recipe for sure!:)
-
When I make cakes or brownies, they are gone in hours. These hung around for a few days. I won’t make again.
-
Weren’t bad but weren’t delicious either.
-
I made these at my work and my co-workers absolutly loved them. They are moist and gooie and melt in your mouth. I added more paenut butter then it said to and I think it was just enough,mmmmm! Try this recipe and you’ll love them too!
-
The only problem with this recipe is that you have to control your eating. The bars are moist and peanut butter gooey. They were a hit at our house!
-
Not a huge fan of these. They weren’t bad, but nothing special. I like peanut butter things a lot, but I didn’t like the peanut butter in this. For the toothpick test to work, I had to cook them for much longer than the recipe called for, and then they were very dry.
-
Oh. My. Gosh. These are incredible. I didn’t have time to make the frosting, but I’m so happy I didn’t because these are unbelievably decadent without it. They are exponentially better on Day 2+. Delish!!
-
Iincredible! Who ever says its too dry or dense…didnt do it right! I used a hand mixer to blend everything! Awesome…kind of like a big chocolate chip/peanutbutter cookie!
-
I don’t know where I went wrong, but these turned out very dry. I am not downing the recipe because it has some really great reviews, mine just didn’t make the 5 star review I was hoping for.
-
Every Monday night I bring a cake or something sweet for Monday Night Football. I was in the mood for a brownie, but decided blondies would be a more unexpected treat. Found this recipe and gave it a shot – very easy to put together. When I served it, the entire batch was gone within minutes and people clamored for more. Three people asked for the recipe – and they NEVER bake….
-
These bars were awesome!! Very moist and tons and flavor! I didn’t make the frosting just because we were bringing them to a party and I wasn’t sure if they would travel well with the frosting, but I guarantee I’ll make them again WITH the frosting!! Delicious!!
-
We really enjoyed these, but they do need to bake a bit longer than the recipe states.
-
It didn’t really do much for me as blondies go. they were a little dry. and I felt like they were missing something. The frosting part made it taste a lot better though.
-
Awsome recipe! however, I cooked to directions and came out not cooked through, added 10 mins and still not done, mabe problem with my oven, topping was too much will cut back next time.
-
Gooey, delicious, tremendous! Give these a shot!
-
We liked it – but I wasn’t as wow’ed by these as some of the other reviewers were. They were just so-so in my opinion. But easy to put together. I used my individual browning pan to make them and this recipe made exactly 24. I did skip the frosting tho. In the end, I think I’ll keep looking for a blondie recipe that I can’t live without.
-
Turn out great just make sure to blend really well all the ingredients. Also I omitted the chocolate chips and used only one teaspoon of vanilla and one of rum extract. They were so delicious.
-
Very sweet.
-
YUM! No frosting needed!!
-
OMG. These things are fantastic! Like others on here, I did not make the frosting and, boy, am I glad I didn’t! I think we would have gone into a sugar coma if I had frosted them. But, the truth is, they don’t need it as they are so rich on their own. To the people who said they were bland and dry, were we making the same recipe?!? These things were ridiculously moist and flavorful. Perhaps they used a pan instead of a dish like the recipe says to use…. I know I learned the hard way with another recipe that you cannot sub one for the other; your bars will be hard and dry if you use a pan instead of a glass dish. Anyway, highly recommend! Just make sure you have LOTS of milk on hand when you make these!
-
Because others said it turned out dry, I added a little extra butter (1 cup instead of 3/4) and was careful not to overcook it.
This was my first time making blondies, and I wish I had known that blondies focus on the combination of dark brown sugar and butter, instead of chocolate for brownies. I used light brown sugar since the recipe didn’t specify. Next time, I’d use dark brown sugar, and cut down the white sugar.
I also just made it easier on myself and blended the peanut butter into the batter instead of trying to fold it in; the electric mixer worked just fine with that. The only thing I folded in were the chocolate chips and toffee bits.
That said, it turned out pretty well, just very sweet, almost too sweet, with the frosting as too much. Others may like it being this sweet. It was moist, rich and gooey. So it turned out as intended, I just wasn’t such a fan, though others were.
-
Easy to make. I used milk chocolate chips. I don’t recommend that. This recipe needs at least semi-sweet. Someone else posted that theirs came out dry. They must have over baked them because mine came out great!
-
They turned a gorgeous golden brown and I was excited to try them. Unfortunately, when I did try them on there own (no icing), they were lacking flavor. I did make the icing to try them with that, I made a half batch as the comments suggested which was more than enough. I found the icing to be incredibly sweet and did not do much for the blondie.
-
I’ve never made Bondies before this evening. let me tell you, this recipe is amazing! I was a little hesitant when I pull the pan out of the oven because they looked more like a cake and less like a square. After I cut the edges off, I began to like what I seen. If you found these too dry, you cooked these too long! I only added 1 cup of chocolate chips instead of the 2. The icing was absolutely delishes! I only added 2 cups of icing sugar, and I didn’t add any milk. It turned out great! Will definitely make these again!
-
I’ve made them several times and they always taste amazing! Although I don’t add the frosting though because It makes the bars to sweet for my taste. My whole family loves it and they beg me to make it.
-
Amazing. Very moist and last forever. I only added 5 tablespoons of peanut butter, but it was just as great. I think that 6 would be a little too much! 😉
-
These were super chalky. no good.
-
Serve with a glass of milk! My family loves these but they are extremely rich! A little goes a long way, and have a glass of milk on standby. But our neighbor who occasionally helps us out with our dog in exchange for baked goods ALWAYS requests these
-
Proportionally there were too many chocolate chips compared to dough. When I went to cut them after cooking, the knife would hardly go through. There were so many chocolate chips you could hardly taste the batter. Could easily do with half in the recipe. There is way too much icing on the top, it layered on a full centimetre thick and made the rooves of our mouths tingle because there was so much sugar in it. It is a decent recipe, but overdoing on the chips and icing takes away from the great flavour.
-
AMAZING
-
This is a wonderful recipe. It was really good and a hit at the party with everyone who tried them. The only complaint we had was it was to sweet. When I make these again I will cut the frosting in half or even by 3/4.
