    We all know I love a good blondie. Blondies are the 'blonde' counterpart to a brownie. That means we get a rich caramel/vanilla, fudgy blondie as apposed to chocolate. What's not to love?

    Only one bowl is required and no mixer needed! Five minutes of your time and you will have whipped up the beautiful blondie base!

    Today we take the beloved blondie one or two steps further. First with a cheesecake layer. Cheesecake blondies are about to become your new favourite thing my friends. We have the soft and fudgy vanilla base with a creamy, tangy top. In other words: Sweet, creamy, fudgy goodness!

    To make these cheesecake just beat the cream cheese with the other ingredients until smooth. That's it! Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to stop any lumps.

    Oh but it doesn't stop there. Oh no.

    Not even close.

    We then melt together milk chocolate and peanut butter to create a gorgeous, silky, peanut butter chocolate mixture to swirl throughout the cheesecake. Just look at those pockets of chocolate peanut butter!

    ** You could omit the chocolate and just swirl the peanut butter if you want these chocolate free. (Are you crazy?!) **

    These are made in an 8"x8" baking pan and I use an all natural peanut butter as I prefer natural as opposed to peanut butter with additives. You can use any peanut butter you like with no change to the method.
