Recipe Swap time!!!
The theme for this swap is desserts...yummy... I photographed these before my glucose screening and it was so hard to wait to sample one until after! These peanut butter cup blondies come from Nicole of PreventionRD. I loved the simplicity of this recipe and that it does not make a ton of bars (I know that is not a plus for everyone, but it is just Ron and I!). These bars are really delicious and will please any chocolate loving crowd. Nicole has lots of delicious recipes on her blog that are healthy and look very tasty! Buffalo Chicken Chowder- yes please! Thank you for a great recipe Nicole!
A big thank you to Sarah for organizing the swaps! If you would like to participate check out her blog and join the fun!

Add peanut butter mixture to dry ingredients, and gently stir until combined. Fold in chocolate chips until combined (do not over mix).
