Marshmallow Reese Blondies

Marshmallow Reese Blondies
1/2 cup butter or hard margarine, softened
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose (plain) flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup candy-coated chocolates (or peanut butter flavored)
2 cups miniature marshmallows

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line a 9x13 inch rectangular pan. 
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and peanut butter. Cream in the sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Sir in the baking powder and salt, and 1/2 cup of the flour. Stir in another 1/2 cup flour, then the last of the flour until well blended. Stir in the chips and candies. 
Press half of the batter evenly in prepared pan. Sprinkle evenly with marshmallows. Carefully drop the remaining batter over top and try to spread as evenly as possible. It's fine if there are a few gaps. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden. 
These are some pretty sweet, pretty flavorful delicious cookie-like squares. The peanut butter flavor is not strong, but could be stronger if peanut butter candies are used. The marshmallow filling could be omitted as well, for some yummy peanut butter candy cookie bars. Milk chocolate chips would probably work well too.
