Cheryl's Sinfully Delicious Bombshell Blondies

senseicheryl's Note:

This is the treat that is the most requested at Potlucks and at the office with the girls. Betcha' can't eat just one! Make sure that if you do bring them anywhere, that you also bring copies of the recipe. It makes a large batch. Plenty enough to share....or not.
