Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel Bars Recipe

3 things about this week’s posts.

1. They were both made for book club (in separate months).

2. They have almost the exact same ingredients.

3. I still love everything about them both.

I love baking sweet stuff.  Its fun and I like to get creative and make things my own.  I also love eating baked goods, but we all know that can’t happen all the time.  So I make sweets for school or book club and leave all the left overs with the hostess so I am not tempted to eat any more.  Perfect plan.

Plus it is really fun to stack your bars and take pictures of them.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• One 12-ounce bag chocolate chips
• 1 cup peanut butter chips
• 1 1/2 cups mini pretzels, coarsely chopped

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.

  In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

  Add eggs in one at a time, until light and fluffy.

  Mix in vanilla.
• Gradually add dry ingredients.

  Stir in chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and pretzels by hand.

  Place batter in a 13 in x 9 in pan lined with parchment paper. Spread evenly in pan.

  Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. The bars will still be a little gooey.

  Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
