Blondies

All relationships need spicing up every now and then, so Rachel and I decided to add a hot blondie to ours for the evening.

On a cold winter night we took our relationship to the next level, a beautiful blonde was invited into our home, it was a little different, exciting, the smell was intoxicating...

We couldn't help ourselves and grabbed and pulled, we were delirious with pleasure.... they were all warm inside and tasted delicious!

Chilli Blondies or White Chocolate and Chilli Brownies. Whatever you want to call them they are like catnip to chocolate and chilli lovers and Rach and I are perhaps the biggest fans of both!
