Peanut Butter Blondies
Hi friends! Things have been crazy hectic here with preparing for finals and the Holiday Season. I love love love the Holiday Season but I haven’t had near enough time to deck the halls this year.
Snuffy and I put up the tree… although most of out ornaments are falling apart! I can’t get my pic to show right but I will post a pic of our sad decorating skills soon!
With all that’s going on I took advantage of one of my favorite ways to relieve stress
Baking!
We made Peanut Butter Blondies ala Tina
We used the last of Mallard’s Skippy Natural
and a lil White Chocolate Wonderful for the Peanut Butter
I also used Whole Wheat Pastry Flour instead of All Purpose Flour
Instead of mixing Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chips …
I used these! Long time no see, eh? I received these in a giveaway from Monica a few months ago.
They are adorable
Snuffy loved that she could “sneak” little handfuls while we mixed our ingredients
If you look very closely, you can see tiny Peanut Butter Cups in this Tiny Hand
(disregard the Mommy nails)
If only Reese’s would produce these!
I nibbled while I mixed…my arm was sooooo tired from all of the mixing 
I didn’t have canned pumpkin which is a rare occurance.
So, I had to improvise
Left-Over Sweet Potato and Frozen Banana
I found Mallard’s old blender and pureed the Banana and Sweet Potato before adding it to the batter.
The finished product did have a different texture. If you have baked with Pumpkin (other than traditional pie) you know what I mean. But I did love the Peanut Butter Bars! I actually enjoy the Pumpkin-y texture.
Peanut Butter. Sweet Potato. Chocolate.
Oh Dear.
Speaking of Delicias, I found S’More Z Bars on Major Sale! They were only 49 cents each at Kroger.
I’m looking forward to a lot more blogging after these finals!
yummmmm, I’m drolling over here! I love those mimi pb cups from Trdare Joe’s. I add them to ice cream all the time! I with Reece’s made them too, they would be THAT much better!
Thanks for the heads up about the Kroger Z-bars, I’ll have to check those out.
Good luck on finals!
Okay, you definitely got me with that last zoomed-in picture. Oh the melted chocolate. Is 7:30am too early to crave it?
Those blondies look so good! Snuffy’s little had with the treats was so cute! Snuffy size.
Yum those bars look great! You did a great job improvising!
It’s morning time, but I’d kill for a blondie for breakfast! lol

Peanut butter blondies sound amazing! I like your improvisation skills…sweet potato + banana is a fun substitute. Looks like Snuffy had fun baking with you, too.
