Print Recipe

A sweet and salty dessert featuring a buttery pretzel crust, layers of peanut butter chips, gooey condensed milk, and chocolate chips. Perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed pretzels (use salted pretzels for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
  • 1/2 cup crushed peanuts (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed pretzels and melted butter until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a compact crust.
  3. Sprinkle the peanut butter chips evenly over the crust, followed by the chocolate chips. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top, ensuring it’s spread evenly. Add crushed peanuts (if using) and finish with a pinch of sea salt.
  4. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the condensed milk is bubbling slightly.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for at least 1 hour to set properly.
  6. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve as-is or with a drizzle of melted chocolate.

Notes

[‘For a thinner crust, reduce the pretzel quantity slightly and spread it more evenly.’, ‘Don’t skip the cooling step—cutting warm bars can lead to a sticky mess.’, ‘Add a drizzle of melted peanut butter on top before baking for a more pronounced peanut butter flavor.’, ‘Press each layer gently with the back of a spoon for even layers.’, ‘If using salted pretzels, reduce the sea salt topping to avoid overpowering the sweetness.’]
