Grandma’s Reese’s Pieces Brownies

My Dad and my Grandma loved chocolate so much. Almost as much as they loved me. She handed down her favorite brownie recipe to me in her well-used recipe box and now I’m sharing it with you to mark my dad’s birthday. Only my version has a twist, Reese’s Pieces Candy!
