Recipe help needed! Blondie Bars?

Cafe Society

When I was in Junior High, our school made these fabulous brownies. I’ve been looking high and low for a recipe for them, but can’t find it anywhere.

Help?

They were called Blondie Bars. The brownie part was non-chocolate, with peanut butter, brown sugar, (maybe) corn syrup. Very chewy. The ‘frosting’ was melted chocolate chips.

Ring a bell to anyone? Anyone else who went to school in Minneapolis in the early 80’s remember these?

Does this sound like what you’re looking for?

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP BROWNIES

½ c butter
½ c peanut butter
1 t vanilla
1½ c sugar
2 eggs
1 c self-rising flour
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

Melt butter and peanut butter together in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add other ingredients and stir well. Add 3/4 c of the chocolate chips and stir slightly and quickly (they will melt if you don’t).Pour batter into greased and floured 9x13” inch pan. Sprinkle remaining ¼ c chocolate chips over the top.

Bake at 325º for 25 - 30 minutes.

Kinda sorta- but there weren’t any chocolate chips in the brownie part at all.
I know, I know- just don’t put them in!

1/2 c butter or margarine
1 c light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 c unsifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 c (6 oz.) semisweet chocolate pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8-in. square baking pan; set aside.

In small saucepan melt butter or margarine over low heat; remove from heat. Add sugar; stir until smooth and dissolved. Transfer mixture to large mixer bowl and beat 1 minute. Add eggs and vanilla; continue beating until light and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Stir in flour and salt just until blended. Fold in chocolate pieces. Spread in prepared pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out barely clean. Do not overbake. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into 16 squares, about 170 calories each.

So this one has chocolate too. This is the recipe I remember and it is quite delicious. (I like them much better than brownies.) I guess you could leave the chips out but then it might be a little bland.
