✔️ Why should you try it?

• Easy and quick to make.
• Perfect for bake sales and parties.
• Supercharged with mini peanut butter cups and white chocolate chips.
• Dense and fudgy.
• Can be frozen.
• Made in one bowl.

🥘 Ingredients

• Nutella - the star of the show in these gorgeous Nutella cookie bar blondies.
• Butter - unsalted butter is best and needs to be melted.
• Caster Sugar - I used golden caster sugar but ordinary caster sugar can also be used.
• Light Brown Sugar - helps give the blondies a lovely fudgy texture. You can substitute it with dark brown sugar if you prefer.
• Eggs - 2 large free-range eggs.
• Vanilla Extract
• Flour - white plain (all-purpose) flour is what you need for the recipe.
• White Chocolate Chips - or use milk chocolate chips.
• Mini Peanut Butter Cups - or use peanut butter chips instead and/or add more chocolate chips.

🔪 Instructions

The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

One: Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl and allow to cool for a minute or two.

Two: Beat in the caster sugar and light brown sugar until pale and fluffy. By hand this will take about 3-4 minutes.

Three: Beat in the eggs until combined.

Four: Add the plain flour and vanilla extract and beat until combined.

Five: Fold through the mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips.

Six: Spoon the mixture into a small brownie tin or 20cm square baking tin.

Seven: Dollop Nutella (which has been softened slightly for 10 seconds in the microwave) on top of the blondie batter.

Eight: Use a skewer to make swirls of Nutella through the blondie. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Leave to cool before cutting into squares.

💭 Top tips

• The hardest part about making these blondies is leaving them long enough to cool. To speed up the process I recommend placing them in your freezer for 30 minutes or your fridge for an hour, before cutting them into bars.
• To get those clean-cut lines, make sure the blondies are cool, and use a long sharp knife to cut them. Wipe the knife clean (be careful when doing this!) between each cut.

🍴 Serving suggestions

The blondies are great served as an after-school snack with a glass of milk. I also serve them for dessert with honeycomb ice cream and chocolate sauce. You can warm the blondies up the microwave for a few minutes before serving.

📖 Variations

Here are a few flavour variations you could try;

• Use plain chocolate spread instead of Nutella.
• If you can't get hold of mini peanut butter cups, use peanut butter chips instead, or just increase the quantity of chocolate chips.
• Use a mixture of white, milk, and dark chocolate chips.
• Once baked, scatter the top with crushed salted peanuts for added crunch and texture.
• Use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar for a darker, richer flavour.

🥡 Storage

Once cooled store the blondies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Place nonstick baking paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together.
