I was curious to bake up a small batch of blondies because they were something I had never tasted before. I have a few more intricate recipes on hand that I've come across over time, but I recently discovered Smitten Kitchen's basic blondie recipe.
Perfect; I don't have much in the pantry as far as "add-ins" go these days, so this was exactly what I was looking for. I cut all the portions in half and added about a half a cup of creamy peanut butter and a handful of chopped up dark chocolate, that's about all I have in the pantry right now, aside from the basics.
Next time, I'd like to use coconut and pecans. The peanut butter was a little overpowering, but that's just how peanut butter is, I suppose. Spread a little Nutella on top of one of these squares and you are good to go.
