Fudgy Pretzel Peanut Bars | It Bakes Me Happy

Lately I can’t same to stop craving chocolate, no matter how hard I try! The other day I was really wanting a nice chocolatey brownie, but it has been so hot here the last couple of weeks and the thought of baking in the afternoon just wasn’t something that had me excited. I did a quick look through our pantry and decided to experiment something new. I love when things work out, I’ll admit, more than once I have done one of these “test” and it just didn’t come together.

 Slice them in bars, cut them into squares, how you choose to serve them you are going to love these chewy, crunchy Fudgy Peanut Pretzel Bars. How do you plan on staying cool this summer? We will be spending a lot of time in the pool for sure. Until next week, I hope you’ll enjoy!

    Oh, these are my kind of candy, bar cookie, bark….whatever you want to call them! Love the sweet and salty. The other day I was craving chocolate and just happened to see a box of Ghiradelli dark chocolate, chocolate chip brownies. I am a scratch kinda girl but I wanted a quick, throw it together dessert. I swirled some salted caramel over the top before baking and they were to die for!! The best box brownies I have ever had! Will be trying this pretzel bar soon too! Pinned!
