Instructions
How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Cherry Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F . Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or tin foil, making sure to leave some overhang for easy removal, and set aside. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Melt butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar and peanut butter. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Add in the flour and salt and mix until just combined, then stir in the chocolates, coconut and cherries.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it around into one even layer. Sprinkle additional chocolates and cherries on top if desired and gently press them into the top of the blondies.
- Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes or until the top of the blondies are set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 1 hour before cutting into the bars.
