09/09/2025 | Bonia Bakery |

There’s something so comforting about the classic combo of peanut butter and jelly. It’s nostalgic, playful, and always delicious. These PB & J Swirl Blondies take that childhood favorite and give it a decadent, grown-up twist.

Soft and buttery with ribbons of jam swirled throughout, these blondies are topped with rich ENJOU Dubai Peanut Butter Chocolate squares for the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Every bite melts in your mouth, making them just as perfect for an afternoon snack as they are for an indulgent dessert.

I brought a batch to share with friends, and let’s just say they disappeared fast—proof that sometimes the simplest flavor combinations really are the best.

These blondies are nostalgia meets indulgence—bringing together the best of childhood flavors with a touch of chocolatey luxury. They’re easy to make, shareable, and guaranteed to be a hit wherever you bring them.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup fruit jam or preserves
  • 1 ENJOU Dubai Peanut Butter Chocolate bar

Directions

  1. Prep the pan: Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8” square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang at the sides.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla, then mix until smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Fold in flour, baking powder, and salt until no streaks remain.
  4. Transfer batter: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. Add swirls: Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter and jam over the batter (about 6–8 spoonfuls of each). Use a butter knife to gently swirl them in.
  6. Top with chocolate: Break the ENJOU Dubai Peanut Butter Chocolate bar into squares and place evenly on top.
  7. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set, the top is golden, and a butter knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool & cut: Place the pan on a wire rack to cool. Once cooled, lift the blondies out with the parchment paper and transfer to a cutting board.
  9. Serve: Slice into 18 triangles and enjoy every gooey, chocolatey bite.
