Ingredients
- Peanut Butter Base Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups pretzels crushed in a food processor but not too fine, you want some chunks
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Chocolate Ganache Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup semisweet chocolate chips, such as Ghirardelli 60% chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Preparation
Step 1
Line 8×8 pan with foil. Spray with baking spray.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt peanut butter and butter together in microwave (about 1 minute on HIGH). Stir in pretzel crumbs, confectioners’ sugar and salt. Spread evenly into prepared pan and refrigerate at least 10 minutes.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe container, heat heavy cream to near boiling (1-2 minutes on HIGH, depending on your microwave). Pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. (If needed, microwave on DEFROST 10 seconds at a time to finish melting.) Pour chocolate over chilled peanut butter base. Chill.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting. Lift foil to remove from pan, then slice into bars with a pizza cutter. Store in refrigerator.
