Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bars image

My twist on rice crispy bars includes crunchy crushed pretzels. Then I top them with a creamy peanut butter coating and rich chocolate topping. Garnished with peanuts and even more pretzels, I don't think I'd ever go back to plain old bars again. -Sherri Melotik, Oak Creek, Wisconsin

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Make sure the peanut butter is smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, it will be difficult to spread.
  • Toast the peanuts for a deeper flavor. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  • Chill the candy bars for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help them set and firm up.
