Peanut Butter Frosted Chocolate Chip Blondies.
Yesterday was Mr. How Sweet’s favorite day of the year – Derby Day.
It was also one of my favorite days – mint julep day.
Unfortunately, Mr. How Sweet didn’t pick the winning horse.
Fortunately, I was 3 mint julep’s deep before I noticed that he bet perfectly good money that I could buy shoes with.
I made these blondies before I had a mint julep. Thank goodness.
We were meeting up with Caitlin, Abby, Jordan, and Ashley after watching the Derby, and I thought they’d be the perfect treat.
I can’t help but think that these blondies taste just like the chocolate chip cookie pie I made a few months ago, but in bar form.
I snuck a few bites before packing them up for the party, and they were really delicious.
It was like a giant chocolate chip cookie topped with fluffy, peanut butter frosting.
The picture doesn’t do it justice, but the bars were a good 2 inches thick.
Totally sinful.
Chocolate Chip Blondies
blondies from Simply Recipes
1 cup of butter, melted
2 cup of dark brown sugar (I used light brown)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
Pinch of salt
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and melted butter until smooth. Add in egg and vanilla.
Combine dry ingredients together, and whisk into the batter. Fold in chocolate chips.
Spread evenly in an 9 X 9 pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes.
Peanut Butter Frosting

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2-3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-2 tablespoons milk
Cream butter and peanut butter. Add sugar gradually. Add vanilla. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Blondies are my FAVORITE dessert, other than wedding cake of course. These look fabulous. I know what you mean, how the pictures don’t do them justice. They seriously taste like heaven, but heck I bet your are better than any I’ve ever had!
My dad didn’t pick the winner either. He told me if he won he would by Nick and I a new TV. DARN IT!
Dang, girl. Nothing’s missing in this recipe. Holy yum!
Yep, I have to say the pictures are good enough for me. I have to try a mint julep just to say I had one now!
Blondie AND brownie posts within days?? I think I love you.
I always know when I visit you slightly hungry I am gonna leave ravenous. These blondies with PB are sure looking grand. Did u lick the pan??
Those look incredible!
I made your Ooey Gooey Fudgey Brownies yesterday and sent them to work with my boyfriend yesterday. When I stopped by his work today I was told that I make the world’s greatest brownies… so thank you! :)

Oh no! Jessica, you know I love you, but why ruin the lovely PB-frosted blondies with chocolate chips? Aaaah! >__<

but even more so, that you’re posting on the weekends. Aside from my fri nite give away and the highlights post, i am taking 1 weekend day off. officially. last weekend and this one, and it’s been great. and honestly, if i could take the highlights and skip them i would. but they get great views. sigh.

Just as an info … I think the link / url behind “Caitlin” seems to be wrong … I get a site with “search results” …
You are correct – thanks so much! Fixed it now.
I don’t think I can make these. They will never make it from the pan to the hands of others. My mouth will most definitely get in the way!!
you had me at pb frosted…yum!
hahaha you crack me up!!! pb frosting?! if and WHEN we meet…I hope to try one of your sweets!! these look so moist and doughy, thats my FAVORITE!
The peanut butter frosting looks really good!
My husband saw this and asked, “Why are we not eating that RIGHT NOW?” I pointed to your picture and said, “Because YOU are not married to HER!” Oh my goodness, if I only had the energy to try all of your recipes! We are going for the asiago salmon and carrot cake cookies this weekend to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. LOVE YOUR BLOG!
Thanks so much! :) Let me know how it all turns out!
OH. MY. GOODNESS! Those are HEAVENLY!! I MUST make those asap!! Thanks for the recipe and love the site! :D
Oh gosh.. heaven!! I’ve never actually had a blondie but I used to make these peanut butter bars back in the day that look similar.. only problem was I could never stop at one! That is, if there was any batter left over :D
You’ve given me a million recipe ideas, Jessica. Thank you so much. These look positively sinful, and I’m all about sinning. Thanks again!
Can we say DELISH??
Oh my! Looks like I’ll definitely be making these for Mother’s Day. YUM! Thanks for the recipe.
Love love love the blog.
Okay… so I need insulin after looking at these *evil grin* but boy do they look yum-e!
Yum! Everything’s better with frosting, right? I think I gain about 2 pounds every time I read your blog!
Not only do I want this Brownie…but now I’m kinda craving a Mint Julep. Yes it is 8:15 am on a Thursday morning. Maybe Mint Juleps will become the new Mimosas?!?!

I just made these and they taste fantastic, however my peanut butter frosting doesn’t seem to be as light and fluffy as yours do in the picture. Did you use an electric beater or something to mix the frosting? Maybe I just need to spend more time perfecting it, I’m sure my household wouldn’t mind!
