Cooking Instructions:

Let’s get started on these dreamy blondies!

Prep and Wet Ingredients

1. Preheat and Prepare Your Pan: First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures a perfectly baked blondie. Next, prepare your baking pan. I highly recommend using an 8×8 inch baking pan. To make for easy removal and cleanup, line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This creates a handy sling to lift the blondies out once they’re baked.

2. Melt the Butter and Sugar Base: In a medium saucepan, melt the 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Once the butter is completely melted, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Continue to stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the mixture looks smooth and well combined. The dark brown sugar will lend a wonderful depth of flavor and a beautiful color to our blondies.

3. Incorporate the Peanut Butter: Now, it’s time to add the star of the peanut butter show! Add the 1/2 cup of creamy natural peanut butter to the warm butter and sugar mixture. It’s crucial to use natural peanut butter that has been stirred very well, as the oil separation in natural varieties can affect the texture if not properly integrated. Stir everything together until it’s completely smooth and homogenous. The aroma at this stage is already incredible!

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk together the large egg and the egg yolk. Make sure they are at room temperature; this helps them emulsify better with the other ingredients, leading to a lighter, more tender blondie. Pour the egg mixture into the peanut butter-sugar-butter mixture. Add the 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract for that classic sweet flavor. Stir vigorously until everything is thoroughly combined and the batter is glossy. Don’t overmix at this stage; we just want everything to come together.

Dry Ingredients and Assembly

5. Combine Dry Ingredients and Fold into Wet: In another medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, the 1/2 cup of grabeef ham cracker crum extractbs, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. The grabeef ham cracker crum extractbs add a lovely subtle crunch and a hint of classic s’more flavor to the blondie base. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Gently fold everything together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix here, as overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough blondies. You should have a thick, luscious batter.

6. Layer in the Goodness: Now for the magical s’mores part! Spread about half of the blondie batter evenly into your prepared baking pan. This creates our base layer. Next, dollop spoonfuls of the 1 cup of marshmallow creme over this base layer. Try to spread it out as much as possible, but don’t worry about getting it perfectly even; some gaps are fine. Then, sprinkle half of the 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips over the marshmallow creme. Finally, dollop the remaining blondie batter on top and gently spread it to cover the marshmallow and chocolate chips. This creates a delightful surprise of gooey marshmallow and melted chocolate in every bite. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top layer of batter.

7. Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crum extractbs attached (not wet batter). The marshmallow might puff up a bit and get lightly browned in places, which is perfectly normal and delicious! Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary.

8. Cool and Cut: This is perhaps the hardest part – waiting! Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This step is crucial for the blondies to firm up properly. If you try to cut them while they’re still warm, they will likely fall apart. Once they’ve cooled completely, use the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift the entire block out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut into squares. For extra indulgence, you can even lightly toast the tops under the broiler for a minute or two before cutting, mimicking the toasted marshmallow of a s’more. Enjoy these incredible Peanut Butter S’mores Blondies – I’m sure you’ll love them!

Conclusion:

There you have it! These Peanut Butter S’mores Blondies are an absolute game-changer. They brilliantly combine the gooey, melty magic of s’mores with the rich, nutty indulgence of peanut butter, all nestled within a chewy, buttery blondie base. It’s the ultimate comfort dessert that’s incredibly easy to make and guaranteed to impress.

I love serving these warm, straight from the oven, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra layer of deliciousness. They also hold up beautifully for packed lunches or as a sweet ending to a BBQ. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the flavors, or even swirling in some caramel for an added touch of luxury. Trust me, you’ll want to make these Peanut Butter S’mores Blondies again and again.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! These blondies are fantastic made a day in advance. Once cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. The flavors often meld even more overnight, making them even tastier!

What kind of peanut butter should I use?

Creamy, unsalted peanut butter is generally recommended for its smooth texture and to control the saltiness of the blondies. However, if you love a chunkier texture, natural peanut butter can also work, but you might need to stir it well to recombine the oil.

How do I prevent the marshmallows from burning?

A common trick is to add the marshmallows during the last 5-10 minutes of baking. This allows them to get nice and gooey without turning too brown. If you notice them browning too quickly, you can loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil for the remainder of the baking time.
