A month ago, I posted a recipe for butterscotch bars which my family and friends love so much. I have made it so many times; its ingredients are always on my grocery list. It is a good snack to have coming home after a long day at work. So, I was excited when I stumbled upon a similar recipe but instead of cashews and chocolate chips, it has peanut butter and peanuts.
Peanut butter blondies are made of flour, brown sugar, butter, peanut butter, baking powder, vanilla, salt and corn syrup. Coarsely chopped peanuts are added to the batter and are used as a topping. I was not disappointed; it tastes as good as the butterscotch bars. Yummy! 😀
