More Chocolate and Peanut Butter

You might think the Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Cake would satisfy my peanut-butter chocolate craving for a long time to come, but as soon as it was gone, I was craving more. I probably would not have followed up on that craving except that we had a guest coming to spend the night with us and well, I needed to make something for him, right?

I went to my favorite food source, the CLBB, and posted a thread asking for everyone to share their favorite chocolate-peanut butter recipes. It's turning out to be a tasty thread indeed. Joe from Culinary in the Country was one of the CLBB members to respond. I often drool over the baked treats he posts on his blog and I often troll his blog for good baking recipes.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Filled Peanut Butter Blondies

As expected, these peanut butter blondies did not disappoint. Unlike some peanut butter recipes I have tried, these were not crumbly or dry, but nice and moist. My only complaint is that they did not have a chewier texture. What can I say, I am fixated on chewy. I think the Peanut Butter Brownies I made a while back were closer to the texture I prefer. That said, I would not hesitate to make these again - a moist peanut buttery dough laced with bursts of bittersweet chocolate and more peanut butter. What could be bad about that?
