These Peanut Butter and Jelly Blondies are an easy dessert the whole family will love!
It’s the first Thursday of the month! You know what that means, right? It’s time for another Peanut Butter Bash recipe!!!
Can you tell I’m excited?
You should be too! This month’s mystery ingredient was none other than JELLY!
These Peanut Butter and Jelly Blondies are CrAzY good and if you’re a lover of PB&J sandwiches than you’re going to go gaga over these babies!
I mean, does it get any better than a sweet peanut buttery blondie rippled with strawberry jelly? Or grape, or apricot, or whatever jelly strikes your fancy! REALLY! This recipe was meant to be personalized!
This recipe was adapted from my Peanut Butter Fluff Blondies, and you can easily add in peanut butter chips for extra bits of tasty goodness!
I love this recipe because it’s not too sweet and it’s got a nice burst of bright fruit to match that cozy peanut butter flavor! Whether you make it for the kids or a trip down memory lane, these blondies won’t disappoint!

I hate when people go onto reviews and say how good something looks, I look at reviews to see if anyone has made the recipe and if it’s any good and worth my time. Just sayin..

So I used this exact recipe yesterday. I wasn’t very happy with the end result. It tells you it’s ok to use a quarter sheet pan, but realistically the Blondie was too thin. It was also on the dry side. So today, I redid it and doubled the recipe to make a thicker blondie. I added an extra half cup of butter to fix the dryness. I kept it in the oven for 32 mins, and it came out perfect. They aren’t super sweet. The peanut butter chips are a must (would be boring without them). I will try this again! I give this recipe 3 stars. It won’t let me below, and only allows for 5.

Hi Nicolen, I’m sorry to hear that they didn’t turn out on the first try, but I’m glad you found a way to make them work. I’ve removed the 9 x 13-inch pan from the instructions and left a note indicating how you made the recipe with it. I generally make mine in an 8×8 or 9×9 pan because I like the thick texture, but I know a lot of other prefer the thinner blondie.
