Preparation

Step 1

In a large bow, mix together the butter, pretzels, confectioners sugar and 1 cup of the peanut butter. Press into a greased 13x9 inch pan.
Spread the dulce de leche on top of the pretzel/peanut butter filling. Cover and refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes or until the dulce de leche slightly firms.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave. Melt in 20 second increments, mixing after each increment to ensure that the bottom of the chocolate chips does not burn. Once all of the chocolate chips are melted, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of peanut butter. Spread the mixture on top of the dulce de leche layer.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
