NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER, CHOCOLATE AND PRETZEL BARS
Steps:
- Line an 8- or 9- inch square baking pan with foil.
- Melt 8 tablespoons of the butter and add to a large bowl. Add the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, vanilla and 1 cup of peanut butter and stir until well combined. Transfer the peanut butter mixture to the prepared baking pan and smooth with an offset spatula to create an even layer.
- Combine the chocolate chips, the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the remaining tablespoon peanut butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted. Alternatively, this can be done over a double boiler. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter and smooth with an offset spatula. Arrange the pretzel sticks on the surface of the chocolate, pressing them lightly to adhere. Refrigerate until hardened, about 1 1/2 hours. Cut into squares to serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your peanut butter pretzel bars turn out delicious and flavorful.
- Make sure the peanut butter is smooth and creamy: This will help the bars to have a smooth and even texture.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bars tough and crumbly.
- Press the pretzels into the batter firmly: This will help them to adhere to the bars and prevent them from falling off.
- Bake the bars until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
