Blondies With Peanut Butter Swirl

Brown Butter Blondies with Peanut Butter Swirl are one of my favorite Blondies Brownies recipe. The flavors absolutely delicious. These are great for parties like Super Bowl and 4th of July.

I couldn't decide last week chocolate chip or peanut butter, cookies or bars. So I went with Brown Butter Blondies With Peanut Butter Swirl because anything with peanut butter swirl is eternally life changing in my book.

These bars have everything I love in a dessert.

A thick chewy chocolate chip bar with swirls of peanut butter deliciousness that make for a gorgeous presentation without much effort.

We couldn't keep our hands out of the pan. We may or may not have eaten over half the pan before Colt could take a few finished photos but just for the record part of that was due to running out of parchment paper.

Sometimes things happen and my kids usually aren't super excited to wait an extra day to enjoy dessert just for a picture so sometimes I compromise. Sometimes I'm on top of my game and I hide dessert until I have finished photos but that didn't happen on this occasion because the kids could smell these Brown Butter Blondies With Peanut Butter Swirl before they even entered the house.

Be warned these don't last long!

Here's how to make these delicious Blondies with Peanut Butter Swirl:

Peanut Butter Blondies

         We made these delicious Peanut Butter Blondies for Mother's Day because we had already devoured the Frozen Strawberry Cheesecake I shared with you that day.

Matter of fact these didn't last long either and may or may not have resulted in a melt down from one of the kids.

 Someone ate more then their share resulting in some serious interrogation in our house.

You would think we never have dessert the way it all went down but to be honest if it was my slice of Peanut Butter Blondies I might have resulted to interrogating people too.

We might take dessert a little too seriously sometimes.

Gluten Free No Bake S'mores Granola Bars

I love S'mores Granola Bars with the little chewy bits of marshmallows and chocolaty goodness.

These are so easy to make and a great treat to add to the kids lunch box.

The secret to these are to press them together really tightly or the edges will be a little bit like chunky granola.

Not that it's such a bad thing because it's the perfect excuse to indulge in chocolaty granola for breakfast over your yogurt.

However if you do press your No Bake S'mores Granola Bars together tightly and you don't have loose crumbs you could always just break a bar up over your greek yogurt for breakfast.

I may or may not have participated in this kind of behavior on a few occasions.

I also may or may not have hidden a secret stash of granola bars to satisfy my own chocolate cravings.

I refuse to answer on the grounds I may incriminate myself and other parties.

Chewy Brownies With Marshmallows And Almonds

I don't know whether to call this a recipe fail or a brilliant accident.

I've been making brownies a lot lately and I mean a lot. 

We've also had this little problem I write about a lot that I make something turn around and the kids and Colt have devoured about 3/4 of what I've made before I have a picture..

Ugh.. They just don't understand..

So after the last brownies with pecans that were amazing  but eaten in 2.2 seconds I thought I had this brilliant idea to make some Rocky Road Brownies.

We'll the idea was brilliant but the marshmallow melted into the brownies leaving them a little extra chewy.

Not what I planned but deliciousness none the less.

A must make anyway.

In case you're looking for other brownie recipes make sure to try out a few of my favorites: Brown Butter Brookies, Fudgy Black Bean Brownies , Fudge Brownies With Caramel Swirl, and Fudgy Brownies With Peanut Butter Swirl.

The hardest part is deciding which ones to make first.

Key Lime Cheesecake Bars With Almond Cookie Crust

Key lime pie reminds me of my sweet Granny, it was always my favorite part of dinner over the holidays. A slice of her key lime pie! Her pie was always amazing, just like everything else she made. 

So for Mother's day in her memory I had made Key Lime Cheesecake Bars. 

There are so many times I wish she would have lived long enough to meet my sweet husband and the kids. Just so they could understand the love she had and her amazing skills in the kitchen! 

I truly thank her every day for the inspiration she gave me growing up, to do better, the great amount of love she had and a wonderful love of home cooked food! 

These key lime bars have a subtle lime flavor. My husband isn't a big lime or lemon dessert man, if we are going to be honest. But he loves limes, so I set out to create a recipe that he would enjoy. 

Mainly so I don't eat the whole dessert by myself in 1 1/2 days. 

I knew this hit the spot when he was sneaking into the pan and being caught enjoying the bars alone. 

Our conversation went something like this... Me, " I thought you didn't like key lime?" Colt," I don't but these are incredible."

I also went with a bar over a pie because I was a bit lazy not in the mood to make a pie crust and bars are a little bit easier for pot lucks and large gatherings to serve.
