I love my husband to pieces. He does a lot of really sweet things for me on a daily basis that just proves his faithfulness to me. He sets out a coffee cup and leaves me a note every morning before he goes to work. He NEVER leaves the toilet seat up. He picks up after himself. The list goes on. If I were to make a list, his pro’s would far outweigh his cons. But we all have cons. His indulgent snack of choice is peanut butter slathered on toast and dotted with chocolate chips. This snack drives me crazy because it means he is dipping into my supply of chocolate chips!

They are for baking. Not snacking on! #men #foodbloggerproblems

Anyways, Josh reminded me that we had some creamy peanut butter from Trader Joe’s in the pantry I needed to use before it expired. My first thought was to make cookies. I love cookies. Like OBSESSED! But, I didn’t really have the time to experiment with a cookie recipe. I was short on time. Then my mind switched from brownies to blondes! I LOVE BLONDIES! I love the color, the flavor, the texture. You name it. Plus, with a fun name like Blondie, how can you go wrong?

I thought it was a genius idea to kind of take my husband’s favorite snack and turn it into something really awesome. The blondies needed something else though. Nutella, duh! I had just enough leftover in my container to swirl on top of the mixture. YUM-O!

Seriously, these smelled so good while they baked. The girls and I could barely keep our hands off of them while they cooled. Of course, I got to sample the finished product ahead of time so I knew whether they were good enough to take pictures of. They certainly smelled good enough. They tasted even more amazing though! These lasted maybe 2 days in our house, but only because we started cutting the pieces in half to make them last longer.

I was a little worried about how Josh would react to these because he doesn’t understand Nutella. Who doesn’t understand Nutella? It’s amazing and full of magic! Anyways, I added the Nutella for me, not for him anyways. But he ended up loving these so it goes down as a win for me! I’m already planning on making these again soon. But I think I need to buy the giant sized container of Nutella from Cosco first.
