Peanut Butter Cup Peanut Butter Blondies

I do have a specialty. Ask anyone that knows me and they’ll tell me that I love making desserts. I also love staying home and being anti-social, but that’s another story for another day.

If my family could live off desserts, it would be all I cooked. Unfortunately, society frowns on cookies for breakfast, brownies for lunch, and cake for dinner. 

Fortunately, now that I have this site, I have an excuse to indulge in desserts. Loaded peanut butter cup peanut butter blondies with peanut butter frosting is this week’s treat. And the cool thing about these, I made them, kept two for myself and gave the rest to my neighbor. Sharing is fun too!

These blondies have is made with a fluffy peanut butter cake is studded with peanut butter cups and draped in a creamy peanut butter frosting. It’s sweet without being overly sweet. The added surprise of biting into a chocolate peanut butter cup makes every bite a new experience. The peanut butter glaze is my favorite part.
