I sure do!! These are courtesy from Al Roker and the Food Network:
Platinum Blondies
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
4 ounces white chocolate, chopped, or 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking pan with sides at least 1 1/2 inches high. Using an electric mixer or mixing by hand, beat together the sugar and egg until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and butter and beat to mix well. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt and add to the butter mixture, beating until just incorporated. Do not overmix. Using a spoon, stir in the pecans and white chocolate.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and use a flat metal spatula or a butter knife to smooth the top. Bake the blondies for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is dry and golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached (not wet, but not perfectly dry). Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Cut the blondies into 2-inch squares. The blondies can be stored, well wrapped, at room temperature for up to 3 days (these seem to get better as they sit) or frozen for up to 2 months (thaw before serving).
Betcha can't eat just one of these babies.........at least I can't......Enjoy!!

Yes I think its fair. Some here are saying that if peanut butter were to be banned, then why arent schools also banning other foods that other kids are allergic to. Well this isnt always valid as many kids allergic to peanuts suffer severe reactions, while most other food allergies are not as serious. Even if a kid tried to stay away from peanut butter, what if one of the other kids eats it, gets it all over his hands, and then touched that kid. There was a newsstory here in Canada not so long ago about a guy who had eaten peanut butter earlier in the day, and had then kissed his girlfriend later on believing he no longer had any left in his mouth. Well, she died from an allergic reaction. I'm not saying kids will go around kissing each other, but this is just to show how serious the allergy is. Kids can eat peanut butter at home if they want to. For parents and students who think the ban is a hassle, please put yourself in the position of a person with the severe allergy or of their parents. We're talking about life and death in many cases, so dont get mad about it being a hassle, because it really isnt a hassle. You just need to make a tiny change. There are plenty of other things to eat!

All the blondies I've ever eaten were nothing more than brownies without the cocoa mixed in. Some had butterscotch chips and nuts, so just take your favorite brownie recipe and leave out the cocoa.
