Reese’s Blondies

I tried to make blondies once before but they somehow ended up with some odd flavor that I could not identify. 

This attempt, however, was amazing. A blondie is meant to be a non-chocolate brownie, and while I know that may sound like a travesty, they actually taste more like an awesome cookie bar thing. I went ahead and added a whole bunch of peanut butter cups in these ones because… well do I really need a reason?

While I would like to say that I’ve found a use for leftover Halloween candy other than stuffing my face with it, all of that is long gone by now. I went out and bought 9 two-packs of regular sized Reese’s. If you have leftover candy still, feel free to use that. Or, ya know, not. 

In any case, it’s fairly likely that these would be fabulous with any chocolate candy you like, but I liked the peanut butter cups because they are easy to distribute through the dough. 

Here’s another thing to note; this is much more like a cookie dough in consistency than it is like a brownie batter. So if you think woah, this is way too thick, don’t worry, it’s not. You’ll have to spread it in a greased pan, and I found that large metal serving spoon worked well for this as the dough did not stick to it. 

On another note, I’ve been planning out the next month in blogs, and there many more wonderful things to come! Enjoy!
