Peanut butter and white chocolate blondies

A mummy has shared @ M4M forum the following recipe that she has gotten from Rachel Allen's Bake baking book. And she has shared that this recipe was captured and shown at UKTV. This recipe is easy to follow, plus UKTV has the video showing how this can be done.

I have tried it out and its really easy recipe to follow. If a baking nerd like me can do it, you can too. :)

Instead of using white chocolate, as specified in the recipe, i have used my favourite dark chocolate. I have also used a bigger pan because i do not have the 20 x 20cm pan that it has asked for. Due to my inexperience, the top layer of my blondies was burnt. I should have reduced the baking time since my blondies were thinner due to the bigger pan. :(

Nevertheless, after scrapping off the top burnt layer, the blondies turn out to be quite yummy! I would like to try it out again. And to make sure i have better result, i have bought a 20 x 20cm pan just for this recipe. :P
