Peanut Butter Cup Blondies

Blondies are scrumptious! And I don't just mean me and Stef!

I felt like making blondies but decided to change them up and bake them in a cupcake pan instead of a regular brownie pan.  They came out incredible, took less time to bake, and are basically a big, gooey, delicious cookie!

Regardless of what the roommates call them (cookies, muffins, brownie, arrows of death stabbing them in the heart) these are delicious little treats!

Ingredients:
1 stick melted unsalted butter (8 tablespoons)
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
a pinch of salt
1 cup flour

Your favorite additions:
5 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
a handful of chocolate chips

Butter an 8x8 baking pan or, as I did, a 12 count muffin pan.
Heat oven to 350 F.  Mix melted butter and brown sugar in a medium sized bowl.  Beat in egg, then vanilla.  Then stir in salt and flour.  Lastly stir in your favorite additions.  You can really use anything you like.

Put a scoop of batter into each cup and bake for about 15 minutes or until set in the middle.
If using the normal pan bake for 20-25 minutes or until set in the middle.

ENJOY YOUR PEANUT BUTTER CUP COMA!
