Peanut Butter Cup Chewy Blondies

Is anyone else still living in the Halloween aftermath?  With the cold this year, we didn’t have nearly as many Trick or Treaters and I therefore have way too much candy laying around the house.

I actually had a whole bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups so I decided to make them into these super simple Chewy Blondie Bars.

These really couldn’t be easier to make.  And they will be ready to eat in about 30-40 minutes.  One bowl is all you need so there is  less clean up when you are finished.

As you can see by the pictures, these bars turn out amazingly chewy.  In fact, my husband told me not to make them anymore, as he pointed to his waistline.  He had just devoured three of them at once.

My husband is normally a savory guy so whenever he gobbles up treats, I know I have found a winner!!

So grab your leftover Reese’s and make up a batch of these yummy Peanut Butter Cup Chewy Blondies.  You definitely won’t have leftover candy for long!!  🙂
