Makes an 8-by-8-inch pan, 12 squares
-1/2 of a stick of butter, melted
-1/2 cup peanut butter, melted
-1 cup light brown sugar, packed
-1 large egg
-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-1 tablespoon of honey
-1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/4 teaspoon baking powder
-1/3 cup of honey roasted peanuts
-1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
-1/3 cup of your fave jelly/jam (I went with raspberry jam for this recipe)
In a large bowl combine the melted butter and crunchy peanut butter, stir until mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the brown sugar and mix until combined. Mix in the eggs, vanilla and honey.
Once incorporated, add the flour, salt and baking powder. Stir until combined; at this point, the batter will be firm and very pliable. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, you may need to use a spatula to spread out the mixture evenly.
Place the jelly/jam of your choice in the microwave and melt it for 30 seconds on high heat, so you can better swirl it over the top of the blondies. Dollop the peanut butter and jelly over the top of the blondies in an alternating fashion.
Bake for 25 minutes in the center rack until center is set and toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let these bad boys cool completely!
Cutting into them while they are still hot will leave you with a hot mess. Let them cool for about an hour! Store them in an air tight container and they'll keep for 3-4 days. This recipe is perfect to play with, you can substitute the jam and stir in a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips for some peanut butter and chocolate blondies. ENJOY!
