directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch square pan with foil.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  • Working with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter together on medium speed until smooth. Add both sugars and beat for 1-2 minutes until well incorporated into the butter. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each goes inches Beat in vanilla extract.
  • Reduce the mixer to low and add in the dry ingredients, mixing only until they disappear into the dough; the dough will be thick. Add the peanuts and chocolate and give the mixer a few turns to stir them into he dough. If the chunky ingredients are mixed in after a few seconds, just finish the job with a sturdy spatula-don't over mix the dough. Scrape the dough into the prepared pan.
  • Bake blondies for 40-50 minutes, or until they turn a deep honey brown and a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool to room temperature.
  • Make the ganache: Place the chocolate chips for the ganache in a heat-proof bowl. In a small sauce pan, bring the cream to a slow, gentle boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and let it stand for about 2 minutes.Whisk in the butter and gently stir until the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the ganache over the blondies and spread into an even layer. Refrigerate until the ganache has hardened slightly.
