Yes you heard it, blondies that are filled with Chocolate Covered pretzels, topped with chocolate frosting, and a few more chopped chocolate covered pretzels on top, just for good measure. This was an excellent treat of the week. After a two-week hiatus our Bridge teacher was back and we had a fun night eating treats, and playing Bridge! It was fun. It was yummy.
