These Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Blondies are an easy and delicious treat that combines chewy blondies with crunchy peanut butter candies.

½ cup butter Use unsalted butter for a less salty bite.
2 cups brown sugar Light brown sugar or coconut sugar can be used.
½ cup peanut butter Almond or cashew butter can be substituted.
2 large eggs No substitutions recommended.
1 TBS vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla for the best taste.
2 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour A gluten-free baking blend can be used as an alternative.
1 teaspoon baking powder Ensure it's fresh for optimal results.
½ teaspoon salt Optional based on taste preference.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 baking pan by greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar in a large bowl for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Mix in the peanut butter until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until fully incorporated.
Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet batter until just combined.
Fold in the Reese's Pieces gently.
Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the blondies for about 10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack and cutting into bars.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent experience. Drizzle with melted chocolate for a delightful touch.
