Ingredients
- 3 cups mini pretzels
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup, plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- ½ cup heavy cream, at room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup peanuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 heaping cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Sea salt flakes or crushed pretzels for topping
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line an 8x8" pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, pulse the pretzels, peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of sugar until the pretzels are crushed into small bits and the mixture clumps together.
- Press firmly into the pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- In a saucepan over medium hear, stir remaining 1 cup of sugar and water until sugar dissolves.
- Increase heat to high and boil sugar for about 5 minutes, or until the color begins to darken.
- Swirl caramelized sugar to mix and continue to cook until it's a medium amber color.
- Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream (it will bubble violently, so stir carefully!) and vanilla. Set aside to cool.
- Pour caramel over the pretzel crust, then top with chopped peanuts.
- Lastly, cover all the peanuts with the chocolate chips and bake for 10 minutes.
- Use an offset spatula or knife to smooth out the chocolate chips while they're still warm and top with sea salt or crushed pretzels.
- Let cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for a couple hours, or until chocolate hardens.
- Slice into bars and serve!k
