My favorite thick and chewy peanut butter blondie recipe loaded with creamy white chocolate and plenty of peanut butter chips! So good with a cup of coffee.
Peanut Butter Blondies Recipe
Today’s super fabulous white chocolate peanut butter blondies are the epitome of easy dessert bars done right. The batter is assembled in one bowl; the bars bake up in just 30 minutes; and the results taste exactly one-billion times better than anything you’d swipe up from the bakery <<<< This, my friends, is awesome. So. Dang. Awesome.
Ingredients for Peanut Butter White Chocolate Blondies
To make this recipe you’ll need flour, brown sugar, butter, peanut butter, flaky sea salt, eggs, baking powder, white chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips.
The last two ingredients are obviously the rock stars of this show and not to be skipped or skimped!
White chocolate and peanut butter chips make me sugar high and happy 🙂
How to bake White Chocolate and Peanut Butter Blondies
The blondies will bake uncovered for 15 minutes, then covered for another 15. It’s not life-or-death if you forget to cover them with aluminum foil, but I find it helps prevent the top from getting too brown while baking. It also helps keep the top layer of white chocolate and peanut butter chips niiiiice and gooey.
TIP: It is important to let the blondies rest, in the pan, for about 20 minutes before cutting.
These blondies are seriously like no other. Ultra thick, supremely chewy, and so buttery (we can thank the butter PLUS peanut butter for that) they almost melt in your mouth. A pop of flaky sea salt on top makes everything extra delicious.
Oh baby… I cannot wait to dig into these. Also, I’m hiding my scale for a week. No wait, forever!
So much sweet and salty awesomeness packed in every square – these babies should come with a warning label!
I would personally word it something like… Warning: Chances of consuming entire pan in just minutes are extremely high.
My advice? Call up every friend in a 10-mile radius and share the wealth 😉

Thick and Chewy White Chocolate Peanut Butter Blondies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces; one stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 and 3/4 cups dark brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (fine sea salt, table salt, or kosher salt will all work)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (I used Maldon Sea Salt and think it's the best), for sprinkling, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a 9" x 13" pan with parchment paper; lightly grease the paper and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-heat. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and brown sugar, whisk well to combine.
- Whisk in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the salt, flour, and baking powder, mixing just until combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the pan, then sprinkle the top with additional white chocolate chips and peanut butter chips, if desired. Bake the blondies for 15 minutes, then cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for another 15-18 minutes, or until they're light brown on the edges and top. Carefully remove them from the oven and cool completely before cutting.

So excited to try this! I was wondering if these bars can be frozen if they won’t all be eaten right away?
Thanks!
Rebecca says
Turned out great. I used milk chocolate instead of white and I baked about 5 mins longer than stated. My only adjustment would be to use less salt. I didn’t add the salt on top and it still seemed too salty for my taste.
RF says
More of a bar/cookie than a Blondie/brownie but still good
Rachel Eisendorf says
Butterscotch chips also make a ridiculous addition to these wonderful bars
bakerbynature says
LOVE that idea!
Sherry says
Do u have to use the paper i dont have any so can i just put in pan thanks
Suzie says
You are right on! These bars are so yummy good!
The only thing I did different was use butterscotch, dark and milk chocolate because I didn’t have peanut butter or white chocolate. I’ll be making this again! Thank you!

Kathy says
Can I use light brown sugar if that’s l I have?
Lynn says
I halved the recipe since there is only my husband and me who were going to eat them. They turned out dark like gingerbread colored instead of the way they look on the pictures. I was disappointed in the taste. Just not what I expected.
bakerbynature says
Hi Lynn. I’m sorry you were disappointed with this recipe. Unfortunately halving recipes can often alter the taste and texture if other changes are not made as well (changing the baking time/temperature/pan/etc).
Deneen says
If you add the extra chips on top, do they melt during baking? Especially if you cover them?
sharkbait says
Nope!
