PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL BARS

INTRODUCTION
My Mom and I were looking for something simple and easy to bake together, and we came across this interesting recipe from Trisha Yearwood.  The recipe is super easy and results in a bunch of highly delectable and easily shareable bars of peanut butter and chocolaty goodness!

SOURCES
You can find the original recipe here:
https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/trisha-yearwood/no-bake-chocolate-pretzel-peanut-butter-squares-2254342

YIELD
I found that the recipe makes about 24 or so bars.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1.5 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, melted
  • 2 cups pretzel rods, crushed into crumbs (small or large pretzel rods are alright)
  • 1.5 cups confectioners' sugar 
  • 1.25 cups smooth or chunky peanut butter
    • ​1 cup of peanut butter is for the base layer / crust
    • ​1/4 cup of peanut butter is to be added to the chocolate topping
  • 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips 
  • A 13" x 9" Baking Pan

DIRECTIONS 
  1. Add the pretzel rods to a food processor and blend until they become crumbs.  If you do not have a food processor, you can likely put the pretzels in a plastic bag and smash them until they become a finer powder of crumbs.  
  2. In a medium sized bowl, add the melted butter, pretzel crumbs, confectioners' sugar and 1 cup of the peanut butter and stir together until well combined using a rubber spatula.  
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an un-greased 9 x 13 inch pan that is around 2 inches deep
  4. Combine the chocolate chips and the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  5. Microwave the chocolate chips and peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and peanut butter are melted and smooth; about two intervals should be enough.
  6. Mix the melted peanut butter and chocolate together to bled well, then spread it over the peanut butter-pretzel layer.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  8. After the bars have had time to cool, remove them from the refrigerator and cut them into squares.  I cut mine into 24 squares.  

ENJOY!
