Peanut Butter Meets Chocolate

August 4, 2010 by Joy the Baker 160 Comments

Peanut Butter Blondies with Milk Chocolate Frosting

I went to a meeting yesterday…

I went to one of those fancy LA-type meetings.  Think:  television executives, fancy open office, exposed brick walls, Apple computers, too cool for school/ultra hip staff… and me in last year’s twelve dollar Target sandals.  Um…..

It was intimidating.  I sat up straight and hid my shoes.

Know what we talked about?  Chocolate and Peanut Butter.  Seriously…. it really broke the ice.

And then one of the executives said I looked like a flight attendant.  That’s a compliment, right?

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes

Peanut butter and chocolate.  The great equalizers.

Peanut Butter Blondies with Milk Chocolate Frosting.  Yea… these puppies make me want to sit on the couch with a glass of milk and watch after school specials.  Wholesome.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes

Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting and crumbled peanut butter cups make me feel like a dirty filthy whore…. and I love it.

Lauren's Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies dipped in semi sweet chocolate?  There goes your diet.

… It was a stupid diet anyway.  You look great.

Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie

This is what Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies look like if you take a really bad picture of them.

True.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Dough

Don’t you feel like a genius when you’re in the middle of making peanut butter cookies and you remember you have half a bag of chocolate chips in the cupboard?  Yea, me too.   Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Peanut Butter Fudge Krispy Treats

Good Lord!  We shouldn’t even be talking about this mess.  It’s butter and sugar topped with peanut butter, butter, more sugar and chocolate and butter.  See?  These Peanut Butter Fudge Treats are a legitimate problem.

Here’s a think piece:  Chocolate and peanut butter pancakes: friend or foe?

My Best Classic Blondie Recipe

Don’t think of blondies as brownies without the chocolate – these chewy little squares are sweet like butterscotch and studded with toasted walnuts and melty dark chocolate pockets. I add a generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt to balance the sweetness of the brown sugar, making these bars the best classic blondie recipe to come…
