Many thanks to Kyndra for hosting me here on Peace, Love and Low Carb. I love peace, I love love and I love low carb so I think I have all my bases covered! I am thrilled to be here and would love to have you check out All Day I Dream About Food on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. I don't know about you, but I have days where I dream in chocolate and peanut butter. It's all I think about, and my little mind whirrs with ideas of how I will next combine those two beloved flavours. To say that there are a lot of low carb peanut butter and chocolate recipes on my blog would be putting it mildly. There are a LOT of peanut butter and chocolate recipes on All Day I Dream About Food and sometimes I am taken aback to see just how many there are. I might as well have named my blog All Day I Dream About Peanut Butter and Chocolate. Except that I love many other foods as well and I might be pigeon-holing myself a little too much with that name. At least this way, I am free to give other foods and flavours some airtime, while still giving PB and Chocolate its due. So when Kyndra asked me to do a dessert recipe for a guest post, my brain instantly went all PB and chocolate. I asked her if she had any issue with peanut butter and she said (and I quote) "to say I LOVE peanut butter would be an understatement". So apparently Kyndra and I are on the same page in that regard. I wonder if she has days where she dreams in peanut butter and chocolate too? I do have a tendency to let my brain run wild and create some pretty elaborate desserts. Low carb desserts are kind of my specialty and I can get carried away, especially if we're talking peanut butter and chocolate. I have created Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake, Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Tarts, and one of my most popular recipes ever, Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Popsicles. Those went crazy viral on Pinterest...I can't imagine why! But sometimes simple is the order of the day. We like simple, right? And simple results can taste as good as elaborate results. That was my end goal here; to give you a recipe that you likely have all the ingredients for already and that you can whip up in less than half an hour. Because if you're like me, when that peanut butter and chocolate craving hits, you want something yesterday, not 2 hours from now. So how about some low carb Peanut Butter Blondies that are full of sugar-free chocolatechips? Yeah, I thought so

Thank you for making the recipe printable.
Leah says
Do you think these could be made ahead and frozen?
Amy says
I just made these and they were DELICIOUS! I got sugar free (stevia) chocolate chips from Netrition. Just a wonderful recipe!
Miriam says
This is absolutely delicious! My husband loved it and told me "this is the best thing you've ever baked!" Thank you for sharing it 🙂
Jenifer says
Can I use 1/4 t. of liquid splenda instead of stevia extract?
Jennifer says
These look amazing! I'm wondering if I can substitute Truvia for the Swerve. Do I need to adjust the amount? Can't wait to try these!
Cheryl says
I followed recipe exactly, using xylitol, and baked for 30 minutes. Now that it is cooled it still seems undercooked and oily. What did I do wrong?
Leah says
Mine were the same way. I stuck them back in the oven and cooked them for about 45 minutes total and they came out great.
Michelle H says
Will this work with maybe 70% dark chocolate instead?
Michelle H says
I answered my own question. Yes, it works great with 70% dark chocolate and this is probably the best dessert on LCHF that I’ve had. Fantastic!!
Linda says
This sounds sooooo good! Can I use my Cacao nibs for this? I used them in my cheesecake and they were delicious!
Kristen says
Where can one get sugar free chocolate chips? I have been looking everywhere for them. This recipe looks delish, thanks for sharing!
