Ingredients

1 box Betty Crocker™ dark chocolate fudge brownie mix
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
2 cups mini pretzel twists
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F. Line 8- or 9-inch square pan with cooking parchment paper.
In medium bowl, mix brownie mix, water and 1/2 cup melted butter. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Break half of the pretzel twists into pieces; stir into brownie batter. Spread half of the batter into pan; set the rest aside.
In small bowl, mix Peanut Butter Swirl ingredients until smooth. Drop by spoonfuls on top of brownie batter in pan. Spoon remaining brownie batter between peanut butter spoonfuls. Use knife to swirl the two together. Top with remaining pretzel twists.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until brownies are set and appear dry around edges. Cool 30 minutes.
In small microwavable bowl, microwave Chocolate Glaze ingredients uncovered on Medium (50%) in 1-minute intervals until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Heat just until melted; do not overheat. Drizzle over cooled brownies. Let stand 20 minutes before cutting. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.
