Description
Indulge in the delightful combination of rich brownies and crunchy chocolate-covered pretzels with this easy-to-follow recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate-covered pretzels, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped chocolate-covered pretzels, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares. For best results, let them cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For a salted caramel twist, drizzle caramel sauce over the brownies before serving.
- Try using different types of pretzels, such as chocolate-covered caramel pretzels, for a unique flavor.
