Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 ounces pretzel sticks crushed (about 1 cup of crumbs)
- ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar sifted
- ¾ cup Ghirardelli® 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips
- 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together butter and vanilla extract. With an electric mixer on low speed, add in the pretzel crumbs, 2/3 cup peanut butter, and confectioners’ sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Press mixture into prepared pan to form an even crust layer. Chill for 10 minutes.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine Ghirardelli® 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips and peanut butter. Microwave on medium power (50 percent) for 1 minute. Remove and stir. If chocolate is not melted, return to microwave and repeat heating step, stirring every 30 seconds to avoid scorching. Stir until smooth.
- Using an offset spatula, spread chocolate mixture over the prepared crust layer.
- Refrigerate bars for at least one hour before cutting into squares or sticks.
Notes
- If desired, you can use a small biscuit cutter to create circular shapes.
