Ingredients
  

For the Blondies:
  • 1.5 sticks salted butter melted
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 20 mini pretzel twists
  • 1-2 ounces milk chocolate melted (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt optional

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

Method:
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: Melt the Butter and Peanut Butter
    In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the salted butter and creamy peanut butter together. Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: Mix Sugars and Eggs
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and peanut butter mixture with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
    In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips and Pretzels
    Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini pretzel twists. The pretzels can be left whole for crunch or broken into smaller pieces.
  6. Step 6: Pour and Bake
    Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, smoothing it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Step 7: Cool and Drizzle (Optional)
    Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. If desired, melt milk chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled blondies. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with coconut oil.
  • Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter for nut-free blondies.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
