Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups thin pretzel sticks
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup + 4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

Steps:

In a food processor, pulse the pretzels into fine crumbs, about 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix together the pretzel crumbs, melted butter, confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup of the peanut butter until fully combined. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9 × 9-inch pan.
In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of peanut butter and the chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. When the mixture is smooth, spread it over the peanut butter/pretzel layer. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
Trisha's Tip:
Thin pretzel sticks have the perfect amount of crunch and salt for the bottom layer.
Makes 24 squares
