Peanut Butter Butterscotch Blondies

Craving a sinfully rich, peanut buttery infused indulgence? Peanut Butter Butterscotch Blondies have you covered!

Why We Love It

Sometimes good things come in small packages. With Peanut Butter Butterscotch Blondies, that’s definitely a good thing–especially in our house. It is REALLY, REALLY hard for us to resist any kind of brownie, let alone any kind of blondie. And chocolate and peanut butter together? Well, that’s just one of the best flavor combinations of all time. Throw butterscotch into the mix and we’re beside ourselves. Like speechless beside ourselves. Because when this special treat is made, we are practically bumping each other out of the way to get to the last piece.

These blondies are simply the best! Sweet, soft, rich and irresistable, they are absolutely scrumptious–and hands down, one of our favorite desserts.

Why You’ll Love It

If you have peanut butter lovers in the house and you love blondies, you have to give this one a try! Peanut Butter Butterscotch Blondies are easy to make and are the perfect dessert when everyone is craving something a little sweet and special. They’re also great to take to a picnic, potluck or party. Simply divide the baked blondie into 16 little bite-size squares and you’ll have 16 servings of impeccable joy! Better yet, make two batches of this from the start because everyone will be asking for more (and that way, you can keep some at home for yourself too!).

Peanut Butter Butterscotch Blondies Ingredients

• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (I use Jif)
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup butterscotch chips

How to make Peanut Butter Butterscotch Blondies

You’ll want to gather the following equipment:

• 8×8 pan
• large mixing bowl
• hand mixer
• medium mixing bowl
• mixing spoons
• measuring cups
• measuring spoons
• scraping spatula
• serving spatula

Before starting…

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Soften the butter on your counter.

Add the softened butter to your large bowl. Then add the peanut butter. Use a hand mixer on low speed to blend. The mixture will be thick and will have a bit of a whipped consistency.

Next, add the brown and white sugars. Use the mixer on medium speed to blend well.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition. Then add the vanilla. Mix on low speed until just blended. Then set this bowl and the hand mixer aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Then add this mixture to the large bowl. Stir with a spoon until just combined.

Stir in the butterscotch and chocolate chips. The mixture will be thick!

Spread this mixture into your prepared 8×8 pan. (You may choose to line your pan with parchment paper first for easier removal.)

Bake Peanut Butter Butterscotch Blondies in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.

Kitchen Ready Betty tip: Keep in mind that the longer Peanut Butter Butterscotch Blondies bake, the more cake-like they will be. We want them to be soft and chewy, but definitely not gooey (which would be a sign of them being undercooked). I would advise checking in on the blondies a few times around the 30 minute mark (both before and after that time). Use a toothpick inserted in the center as your guide to determine if they are gooey. If so, bake just a little longer and recheck!

Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Then loosen from the edges of the pan and cut into squares!

Enjoyed with a scoop of ice cream on top, or simply all on their own, we bet you can’t eat just one!

What is a blondie anyway, and how is it different from a brownie???

I wish I could reveal something earth-shattering here, but it really is as simple as it seems, so here it goes…

Blondies are flavored with vanilla.

Brownies are flavored with chocolate.

That’s pretty much it. They’re both seriously good and incredibly delicious! And although blondies don’t have more fun than brownies, YOU may have more fun when you eat them!
