Pretzel Brownies

Ok I have yet to tweak a Brownie recipe and this one is good if you like a dense, good,  lick your finger dessert a little time consuming but good.








Here is a tip I find useful. When I mix the dry goods in any recipe,
I sift the dry ingredients together. This way I know they are mixed and there are no lumps or stuff in the dry mix.

I sift the dry mix into a separate bowl.

Yes it is old sifter (Grandma) but it works ! I am very Old School 



This recipe takes about 20 minutes to prep and 30 minutes or so to bake at 350 deezgree.

Ingredients

2 cups of all purpose flour
1/ 1/2 tsp of baking power
1/4 tsp of salt
** Theses are the items you sift together in the separate bowl
1 1/2 stick of butter melted or room temperature
1 1/2 cups of brown sugar I like dark gives it a rich flavor
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract use pure it is the best
1 cup or so of chocolate chips and another cup for the glaze
1 cup of crushed pretzels. I use whole wheat honey pretzels
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter (Optional)

Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with parchment paper -  it makes it easy to life out and cut when they are done and your pan is so easy to clean'

Ahh so smooth

• Sift your flour, salt and baking powder together in a bowl
• In a separate bowl mix your butter and sugar till they are smooth
• Beat in your eggs and add the vanilla
• Add dry mixture stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips add the pretzels

• Now the batter is thick and not so easy to spread so blop it into the pan and then nice and easy spread the mixture.
• Cook for 30 minutes or till a toothpick comes out clean as a whistle. (how clean is a whistle?)

Now in a double boiler or small pot of water with a bowl on top warm up the chocolate and mix in the peanut butter till it is cooked together nice and smooth. Do not try to do this in the microwave this is one time you will want to take the time to put a bowl over a pan of boiling water and melt the old school way.



I got this double boil set up at a garage sale for 25 cent's. HALLA! 






Drip the warm chocolate and peanut butter mixture onto the brownies and sprinkle with some more pretzels pieces. Now put them in the oven set at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. Check them after 20 minutes.


Shhhh I just had a browniegazem

Oh my gosh if you are not stuffed from licking your fingers this last hour get a cup of milk or coffee and enjoy.
