Categories     dessert

Time 1h17m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, melted
2 cups pretzel rods, crushed into crumbs
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup plus 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add the melted butter, pretzel crumbs, confectioners' sugar and 1 cup of the peanut butter and stir together until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish. Combine the chocolate chips and the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and peanut butter are melted and smooth; two intervals should be enough. Mix to blend, then spread over the peanut butter-pretzel layer. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.

Tips:

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips or semisweet chocolate chips.
  • If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • To make the bars more festive, sprinkle them with crushed candy canes or chopped nuts.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pretzels.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
