I'm all about these awesome Chunky Monkey Peanut Butter Cup Banana Blondies!  The 'Chunky' in these mouth-watering, delicious bars are rich chocolate chunks and peanut butter cups and the 'Monkey' part is the banana and peanut butter flavors.  And there you have it, Chunky Monkey Peanut Butter Cup Banana Blondies have arrived! 

Chunky Monkey Peanut Butter Cup Banana Blondies

The magnificent combinations of peanut butter, chocolate and banana is such a popular favorite among many.  I could eat this whole pan, I kid you not.  I reluctantly managed to take them to work, so I wouldn't be tempted by them hidden or out in the open.  

I cannot let anything alone if I know goodies are in the house. I did, however, manage to still scarf down 3, before I let the cat out of the bag. 

And, in a flash.  They went buh-bye. I was crushed.  

Good bye cruel world.  

Good bye into the mouths of co-workers.  

Thank you I think?  😉  

Chunky Monkey Peanut Butter Cup Banana Blondies

These bars are a wonderful fudgy, peanut butter bar with mashed bananas added in, then the chocolate chunks and the peanut butter cups add even more richness and decadence, making these one of my all-time favorite bars.  

The key is to not overbake them, to keep them fudgy and moist. These are so good for snacking, dessert and breakfast!  Yes, breakfast!  😉  

Feel free to add some walnuts or some broken pretzel bits or substitute crunchy peanut butter for creamy peanut butter for some extra crunch and a different twist on these beloved Chunky Monkey Peanut Butter Cup Banana Blondies.

    Thanks for correcting (check spelling). I made these today and they were delicious! I had all the ingredients except the peanut butter cups, so I’ll have to get some and make recipe again?. Very easy to make. I baked for 26 minutes. Thanks for great recipe!

    I don’t see where the baking soda is added in. I’m assuming with salt and flour. Is that right?
