Ingredients

  • 3 cups mini pretzels
  • 4 tablespoons melted better
  • 1 box brownie mix
  • 2 eggs per the box directions
  • vegetable oil
  • water
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 jar oh-so-easy crockpot caramel or store-bought caramel sauce
  • salt
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Place pretzels in a gallon sized Ziploc bag and crush as finely as possible with rolling pin.
  2. Mix brownie mix with water, eggs, & oil per the box instructions. Add dark chocolate chips.
  3. Spread pretzel crumbs out on bottom of 9×13″ baking pan. Drizzle with butter and mix well until pretzels are coated, then press into a crust on bottom of pan.
  4. Carefully pour brownie batter evenly over pretzels crust.
  5. Carefully drizzle caramel over brownie batter in zig-zag motion, then pull a knife through the caramel in alternating directions to create a pretty pattern. Sprinkle with salt.
