Ultimate Pretzel Crusted Peanut Butter Cookie Candy Brownie Bars

The last dessert I made for the party was the Ultimate Pretzel Crusted Peanut Butter Cookie Candy Brownie Bars.  Holy cow were these rich!  Cut them into smaller bars if you make them!  Thanks to pinterest - I found another good recipe!  

Ingredients 

• 2 ½ cups crushed butter pretzels
• 1 cup melted butter
• 5 tbsp sugar
• Betty Crocker Peanut Butter Cookie Mix and all the ingredients the mix calls for
• Brownie Mix (13×9 family size box + all the ingredients the mix calls for)
• Snack Size Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (2 – 10.5oz bags)

 

Instructions

1. Crush the pretzels in a food processor or however you like to crush pretzels. Any kind of pretzels will do but it is recommend  to use crushed butter pretzels for the recipe. Mix the melted butter (melt in microwave), sugar and pretzel crumbs. Press into lightly greased 13×9 pan. Set aside pretzel crust and make the cookie dough.
2. Make the cookie dough according to the package. Lightly press the cookie dough evenly on top of the pretzel crust.
3. Unwrap 24 snack-size Reese’s Peanut Butter cups and cover the cookie dough with the candy.
4. Whip up your brownie mix and pour evenly over the Peanut Butter Cups.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
6. Cool for 10 minutes and then enjoy!

When I make these again I would probably put the cookie dough down first and then the preztels next!
