Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Swirl Blondies

Ingredients

• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 and butter an 8-inch square pan.
Brown the butter by melting it over medium heat on the stove until it becomes a golden caramel color. Be careful not to burn the butter—you only want to brown it. (This will take several minutes and it’s easiest to keep swirling the pan with your hand while it browns.)
Pour the browned butter into a bowl and add the brown sugar. Beat for about four minutes, until creamy. Add the egg and beat again. Then, add the flour, salt and vanilla extract. Beat until combined, then add peanut butter and gently mix so the batter is just swirled.
Fold in the chocolate chips. Spread out mixture in your buttered pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Allow to cool before slicing into squares.

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
