Step 1: Ingredients (serving size: 12-16 blondies, 9×13 pan)
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup peanut better
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 spoonful (or MORE!) of Nutella
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- Baking powder - If you don’t have this, which I didn’t, you can combine 1/4 tsp baking soda with 1/2 cup of sour cream to get the same effect on the baking.
- Chocolate chips - I'm not a fan of chocolate chips so I smashed a 13 oz. bar of chocolate that had cacao nibs in it. It provided a delightful dark chocolate crunch to the blondies.

If you didn’t have baking powder, you can mix your baking soda and sour cream now.

Step 3: Butter base
Melt the butter and brown sugar together until it’s nice and smooth. Pre-heat your oven for 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the pot/saucepan from heat. You can mix your dry ingredients while waiting for the mixture to cool just a little bit. Then, mix in the peanut butter, Nutella, eggs (one at a time), and vanilla extract in that order. Stir.

Pour the wet mixture in with the dry to create your thick, creamy batter =]. Stir it well!

Pour your mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the top with your chocolate.

Place it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Your apartment/dorm/house should now smell delicious, and your tummy should be grumbling.

After it has cooled a bit, cut it up and enjoy with a nice glass of milk/soymilk/something that will wash down its richness! Yum yum =]
