Maz Brownie Pretzel Crunch

Maz Brownie Pretzel Crunch






Ok I have yet to tweaked yet another recipe and this one is good if you like dense good lick your finger desert a little time consuming but good...

Ok a tip I find that when I mix the dry goods in any recipe that i sift the stuff together into a bowl this way i know they are mixed and there are no lumps or stuff in the dry mix...in a separate bowl of course

Ok

Maz Brownie Pretzel Crunch

Takes about 20 minutes to prep 30 or so to bake at 350 deezgreez and makes a whooping bunch of blocks...cut to the size you like.....

2 cups of all purpose flour
1/ 1/2 tsp of baking power
1/4 tsp of salt
  • theses are the things you want to sift together in the separate bowl
1 1/2 stick of butter melted or room temperature
1 1/2 cups of brown sugar I like dark gives it a rich flavor
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract use pure it is the best
1 cup or so of chocolate chips and yet another cup for the smooth yummy glaze oh yeah
1 cup of crushed pretzels. I use whole wheat honey pretzels that i get at Fresh and Sleezy they have a good taste and a little sweet with the salt.....
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter there are your nuts but you can use smooth big baby

Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with parchment paper it makes it easy to life out and cut when they are done and your pan is so easy to clean

Oh sift you flour, salt and baking power together in a bowl look how smooth it is ...a miracle i say
Ok in a separate bowl mix your butter and sugar till they are smooth
Beat in your eggs and add the vanilla
Ok now add that sweet smooth dry mixture stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips add the pretzels
Now the batter is thick and not so easy to spread so blop it into the pan and then nice and easy spread the mixture it is worth the extra time after all this is going to taste so delicious.....
Alrighty cook for 30 minutes or till a toothpick comes out clean as a whistle how clean is a whistle that comes out of cooked goods? Good question to google

Ok take them out and while they are cooling make the topping melt the other cup of chocolate and mix in the peanut butter till it is cooked together nice and smooth....Now do not try to do this in the micro this is one time you will want to take the time to put a bowl over a pan of boiling water and melt the old school way...Now drip onto the brownies and sprinkle with some more pretzels or not you decide.....Oh my gosh if you are not stuffed from licking your fingers this last hour get a cup of milk or coffee and enjoy....

Enjoy

1 ¾ cups flour
½ cup chopped nuts (Chop to the size you like)
¾ cups of softened butter
1/2 cup powered sugar (sifted)

In a mixing bowl beat the butter add the sugar till it is mixed
Now add powered sugar and lemon peel till mixed.
And the flour mixture till it is crumbly
Now press 2/3 of the mixture to the bottom of your pan evenly
I put just a touch more crumble in the corners this is the area of the pan that is always to thin….like I wish I was….
Spread the jam across the bottom 
Now stir in the tablespoon of flour into the remaining mixture to make it even more crumbly
Now sprinkle it on the top and bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes check it because you want it to be just golden brown on the top see my pictures now that is golden
Cool and cut…..
