Peanut Butter Cup Blondies

And the peanut butter-chocolate experiment continues...

This week in the form of a bar. A blondie, to be more precise. I put my own twist on a recipe I found over at Smitten Kitchen by not only mixing chopped up Reece's Peanut Butter Cups in the batter, but also pressing whole Peanut Butter Cups into the tops of the bars when they were fresh out of the oven.
