Disclaimer: I know I've previously posted a recipe with this same title. In practically EVERY case, I have made every recipe on this site. On occasion, I get one from someone and assume it is good. I received this recipe and it wasn't exactly as I would have liked or imagined. I have a wonderful peanut butter ball recipe (which came from my mother-in-law) that I use for making Christmas candy each year. So I put it to use and the result was fabulous. For that reason, I am reposting this as my own version.... which I of course feel is much better. The peanut butter is extremely smooth and super delicious!
Makes about 60 bites or so depending on the size you roll the balls.

Filling ingredients:
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
3 tbsp softened butter (not margarine)
Waffle shaped pretzels (squares or rounds)
Melting chocolate
Directions:
Put filling ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined and smooth. (Sorry about the picture. Had to use an old camera for it since my other one was charging!)
The result will be a semi-stiff, but still soft dough. Should not stick to your hands. If it does, add a tiny bit of powdered sugar. (Again, sorry for the bad picture.)Roll into balls. Not too big. About 3/4 of an inch or a little less. (Yeah, battery finally charged! Boy there is sure a difference.)Put between pretzels to make a sandwich.Put in freezer for about an hour or until firm.

Get chocolate ready for dipping.
Dip each "bite" only half way into the chocolate and set on wax paper to set up. Keep in fridge until ready to serve.

I think these would be fun to dip in white chocolate colored for the holidays. There are many possibilities!

Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

These Blondies are.... Decadent. Divine. and Dangerous. ;) You won't want just one. And, as her recipe states, they're flexible with what you can put into them. I make a great caramelita. These kind of remind me of them except without the oatmeal. I also thought they'd be good using leftover Halloween candybars like in Heidi's candybar cookies. SO many possibilities with this blondie recipe. I had to include it on my blog for that reason. The purpose of my blog has *always* been to have it be an external recipe box of nearly all my favorite recipes.... whether they are tried-and-true recipes passed down within our own family, ones I've received from others and made my own, ones I tweaked to my preferences from other websites, or even recipes from other bloggers. I so appreciate good food and the time that goes into making a recipe. I always link back to the original recipe and indicate any changes made. With that in mind, here is the recipe for Milky Way Blondies!

2 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups flour
1/2 cup Caramel Bits (or chop caramel squares into fourths)
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
15 Fun Size Milky Way Candy Bars, chopped 

I used my Bosch for this recipe with the paddles. If using an electric mixer, use a large bowl!

Cream brown sugar and butter. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine and then sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. I mix the flour in only until incorporated. You'll be mixing it more when you add the caramel bits, chocolate chips, and candy bars. I prefer not to overmix. Add in your bits, chips, and bars! 

Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking sprain over anyone... especially someone who LOVES chocolate and caramel! y. If desired, line the pan with parchment and spray with cooking spray. The original recipe calls for foil. Myself, I do not prefer foil when baking these kinds of things. I'm kind of a parchment gal. When using parchment, use one section going long ways in the pan and another section going the width of the pan. Leave some hanging over the edge on all sides. Just be sure to use spray! ;) Spread the blondie mixture into the pan and bake at 350 degrees for 22-24 minutes.  Err on the side of looking not done-ish on these. You don't want hard, dry blondies on the outer edge. Mine took about 23 minutes. But every oven is different. They will continue to cook and set up as they cool. Cool completely before cutting. I did these bars the night before like I do for my caramelitas and they were perfect to cut with a good, sharp knife. I cut them to get 15 bars. 

The result is a delectable dessert that will win over anyone.... especially someone that loves chocolate and caramel! ;)
