Ingredients
Crunchy Pretzel Crust:
- 2 cups pretzels (crushed)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Rich Peanut Butter Filling:
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decadent Topping:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Mix crushed pretzels with melted butter, then press firmly into the pan to form the crust.
- Create the Peanut Butter Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 20-second intervals until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and pour over the pretzel crust.
- Add the Magic Topping: Evenly spread the sweetened condensed milk over the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle milk chocolate chips and peanut butter chips on top.
- Bake and Set: Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let the bars cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, refrigerate the bars for 20 minutes before cutting.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, in the fridge for 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
