Peanut Butter Blondies

From cooks.com. Jon and I just loved these. You will want to lick the bowl with the butter, molasses, peanut butter, and vanilla. The kids, however, were not impressed. So I will continue to make these for the adult crowd.

1/2 c. unsalted butter
1/2 c. super chunky peanut butter
1 tbsp. light molasses
1 tbsp. honey
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sifted all purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1 c. light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c. coarsely chopped roasted salted peanuts
1/2 c. peanut butter chips

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325 degrees. Butter and flour bottom of 9 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. Melt 1/2 cup butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat. Cool to lukewarm. Mix in peanut butter, then molasses, honey, and vanilla. Combine 1 cup flour and salt in small bowl. Using electric mixer, beat egg with sugar in large bowl until thick and light colored. Fold in peanut butter mixture. Gently stir in flour just to combine. Spread batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle top with peanuts and peanut butter chips. Bake until center is almost set, about 30 minutes. Cool in pan on rack. Cut into 9 squares.
