Do you know what makes me smile?? The smell of somethings baking in the oven.  It’s hard to have anything NOT smell fantastic while baking, but one of my fave things is blondies. They just have this amazing aroma that fills the house and makes me feel like I’m back in my childhood kitchen.  Adding Reese’s Pieces is for my dad, who forever has loved chocolate and peanut butter together and separately. Naturally his favorite foods included either or BOTH- bonus points for both.
