Pretzel Layer:

2 cups Pretzels finely crushed
¼ cup Sugar
⅔ cup Butter

Peanut Butter Layer:

½ cup Butter (room temperature)
2 cups Creamy Peanut Butter
1 cup Powdered Sugar

Chocolate Layer:

1 ¼ cup Milk Chocolate Chips
¼ cup Creamy Peanut Butter

Pretzel Layer:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Use a food processor or rolling pin to crush the pretzels into crumbs.

Add the sugar, and butter to the food processor and mix together.

Then press the pretzel crumb mixture into the bottom of a 13x9-inch cake pan.

Bake 10 minutes and let cool.

Peanut Butter Layer:

Mix together the peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar. You can do this with a spoon or spatula.

Spread the peanut butter mixture onto the pretzel layer. It can be a little sticky so I like to use a rubber spatula or even my fingers to get it spread out.

Chocolate Layer:

In a microwave-safe bowl, place the chocolate chips and peanut butter.

Place in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and then another 30 seconds.

This should be enough to melt it but if not, repeat until it is completely melted.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture on top and spread until everything is nicely covered by the chocolate.

Then place in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm.

When firm cut into squares and serve.

These are so amazingly good!

Our Baking Essential List

We use Glass Baking Dishes for baking casseroles. I especially like the dishes with lids because leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don't scratch my cookware and is easy to clean!
A Glass Cutting Board is a must to prepare all of those ingredients. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
This Knife Set will also become your favorite! The knives cut beautifully, and the hollow design prevents food from sticking to the blade.
