Chocolate-Peanut Blondie Bites Recipe
Chocolate-Peanut Blondie Bites

Next to chocolate chip cookies, brownies and blondie bites are some of the most popular sweet treats. Unfortunately, most people bake them from boxed mixes when in fact Blondie Bites are so easy to make from scratch. You can find all the ingredients you need in your pantry. I love rich dark chocolate brownies, but I also love blondies just as much. I make Blondie Bites quite often. They might not be as well known as their chocolaty counterpart, but there just as good -- if not better.

This Chocolate-Peanut Blondie Bites recipe is my go-to, all-in-one blondie recipe. I adapt this recipe over and over again. This Chocolate-Peanut Blondie Bites recipe is made with chopped semisweet chocolate and chopped peanuts.

Chopping the chocolate results in fudge-like blondies. If you use chocolate chips, the blondies will turn out a bit more cake-like since the chocolate won't melt as much. Any chopped nut can stand in place of the peanuts. Instead of milk or dark chocolate, try white chocolate, carob, peanut buttter chips, butterscotch chips or toffee chips. Variation is encouraged.

This Chocolate-Peanut Blondie Bites recipe also makes cookies. Spoon balls of dough onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and set on top.

Chocolate-Peanut Blondie Bites Recipe

    Prep Time: 20 minutes

    Cook time: 30 minutes

    Yield: 16 blondie bites

Chocolate-Peanut Blondie Bites Recipe Ingredients

    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

    1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    1/8 teaspoon salt

    3/4 cup light-brown sugar

    1 large egg

    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

    1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

    1/2 cup coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate

    1/2 cup coarsely chopped unsalted roasted peanuts

Chocolate-Peanut Blondie Bites Recipe Directions

    Preheat oven to 325 F. Butter a 8- by 8-inch pan, line with parchment paper, and butter again. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda and salt.

    In a large bowl, using a hand-held mixer, beat together the sugar and egg until pale and glossy. Add the vanilla and melted butter, beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients a little at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl now and then, until just combined. By hand, fold in the chopped chocolate and peanuts. Spread batter in prepared pan and smooth top.

    Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs. Let cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper to lift the cooled blondies onto a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut into 1-inch squares.
