Ingredients

  • 3 Cups pretzels
  • 1 Cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
  • ¼ Cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ Cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ Cup chocolate chips or chocolate melting discs
  • Ground salt for a light sprinkle over the top, if desired

Instructions

  • Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper, coat with non stick spray, and set aside.
  • Roughly crush 2 cups of pretzels.
  • Combine the peanut butter, butter, and sugars in a small bowl, then stir in the crushed pretzels. Press this mixture evenly into the lined pan, and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate (I used the microwave- go slowly!), and pour over peanut butter base.
  • Spread evenly and tap the pan against a hard surface to even out the chocolate a bit more.
  • Place pretzels evenly over the top (this will be your cutting guide), and sprinkle additional (ground/coarse) salt.
  • Cool in refrigerator or on counter.
  • Lift the parchment out of the pan with the bars, use a sharp knife to cut into squares. Enjoy!
