If ever there was a blondie to love…this is it! Peanut Butter Cup Blondies!! The key is to not over bake them which can be tempting. They may see a tad bit underdone at 20 mins but that is when your remove them. They will continue to bake in the pan when removed and if left to cool, will set up perfectly! That means no sneaking an early bite. Willpower, my friends! I used a 10 ounce bag of pb cups but I would like these better with even a little less of the candies! Maybe 8 ounces next time for me. Totally up to you though!
