Food Bloggers Bake Sale Wrap-Up


It’s been a few weeks since the bake sale (an event I love but had to miss because I was touring San Diego’s avocado country), and I realized I hadn’t yet shared my tasty treats with you!

I updated these peanut butter M&M blondies that I first made via the Secret Recipe Club – the original recipe comes from Greens & Chocolate. But since I, um, ate all the M&M’s the night before (I had some help: it was bunco night), I had to go begging my neighbor for chocolate chips. She had both white and dark chocolate. Pretty!

And pretty yummy, although since these use regular flour, lil’ ole gluten-free me had to rely on my friend Liz’s son to assure me they were awesome. With more than 40 bloggers participating in the sale, our team raised a whopping $3000+ for Share Our Strength! Can’t wait to see what we do next year.


Peanut Butter Blondies

Ingredients
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate M&M’s (or chocolate chips)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and remove from heat. Stir in the peanut butter and set aside to cool.
  3. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  4. Beat the eggs and vanilla into the peanut butter mixture.
  5. Fold the flour mixture into the saucepan, stir to combine. The batter will be thick.
  6. Spread into a greased 9×13” pan, using your hands if necessary to spread the batter evenly throughout the pan.
  7. Top the batter with the M&Ms, lightly pressing each into the batter.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the dough is lightly browned and a fork inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

    Too bad neither one of us were at the bake sale and were in Avocado Country. Then again, probably a good thing. I would have bought up all of these!

    These went quickly at the sale. My kids and I were lucky there was a left over one for us to try. They were delicious!! You’re packaging was so cute too!
