White Chocolate Peanut Butter Blondies

ok, something is going on with my blogger template today that i can only write in lower case! i cannot figure it out. but that's not going to stop me from sharing this great recipe with you...

i have been on a bit of a blondie kick lately, and it all started with these bars. and it's also why my pants are so tight, let's be real. after these, i went back to a tried and true recipe - cookie butter blondies (so good!!!!) - and then i also made salted caramel blondies (to be posted soon). 

i've probably said it before, but i prefer making bars over cookies, and blondies are just perfect for being able to have all kinds of fun stir ins and combinations. i really loved this version with both white chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. and i especially loved that it all comes together in a large saucepan. so few dishes to wash! 

Let's celebrate that it's over 32 degrees here today with a pan of blondies! they're perfect with a tall glass of milk or a cup of coffee. (and let's hope that my capitalization issue solves itself soon - ha!)

White chocolate peanut butter blondies

1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 3/4 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt 
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and brown sugar; whisk well to combine.

Whisk in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the salt, flour, and baking powder, mixing just until combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.

Spread the mixture evenly in a greased 9x13 pan, then sprinkle the top with additional white chocolate chips and peanut butter chips, if desired. 

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, then cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for another 15-18 minutes, or until they're light brown on the edges and top. 
Cool completely before cutting.
