Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and whisk into the batter. Fold in half of the bacon.
Spread evenly in an 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until done.
FOR PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING:
Cream remaining 1/2 cup butter (softened) and peanut butter. Add powdered sugar gradually. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. More liquid may be needed depending on how thick or creamy you want the frosting. Feel free to also add more powdered sugar if needed.
Frost blondies, then top with remaining crumbled bacon.
