We’ve all been there when the cravings kick in. Maybe it’s during your mid-afternoon slump or right after dinner - or maybe you’re like me and feel like you’re constantly combating cravings left and right! Regardless, there are times when you should definitely indulge and these blondies just might be the answer. I mean, with the chocolate and peanut butter combo, there’s just no way you could go wrong!

Creamy peanut butter, buttery dough and decadent dark chocolate combine to form this one-pan dessert that can be baked from start to clean-up in under an hour. This makes them perfect to throw together for a weeknight dessert or when those cravings inevitably hit you. Adding extra chocolate to the top just before they’re finished baking makes for extra gooey goodness too! They’re quick, easy, and worth every calorie.
