Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium-large saucepan, melt the butter with the bittersweet chocolate over low heat, whisking occasionally until smooth and melted. Sprinkle in the cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Stir the sugar and vanilla into the chocolate mixture until just combined. One at a time, stir in the eggs. Gently stir in the flour until halfway incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and stir just until combined.
- Sprinkle half of the pretzels in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Pour the batter (it will be very thick!) in the pan over the pretzels. Spread to even out the top and arrange the remaining pretzels all over the top.
- Bake for 40 minutes, then check the brownies with a toothpick. If overly gooey/messy, return the pan to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes, being careful not to burn the edges. Allow to cool completely (important!), then cut into small squares.
SALTED PRETZEL BROWNIES
Sprinkling flaky sea salt on brownies makes their bittersweet nature pop; it's the kind of flavor contrast that keeps you coming back for more (as if the brownies themselves weren't enough). Here, pretzels work in the same way, adding crunch and a toasty character as well. Hiding beneath the brownie batter, a graham cracker and crushed pretzel crust gives the bars a cookielike appeal run through with salted caramel notes. Go ahead and try to eat just one.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square metal baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of excess on each side to help you lift the cooked brownies out of the pan.
- Make the crust: In a food processor, combine butter, graham cracker crumbs, crushed pretzels and egg white. Process until mixture is well blended. Transfer to prepared pan and press crumb mixture into an even layer on the bottom. Bake until deeply browned at the edges, about 14 to 17 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool.
- Make the brownies: Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees. Put butter and chocolate into a medium pot and place it over low heat. Melt the mixture, taking care not to let the chocolate burn and stirring constantly with a rubber spatula until smooth. Scrape chocolate mixture into a large bowl and mix in the sugar. Let mixture cool until it's just warm to the touch, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk eggs into cooled chocolate mixture. Whisk in flour, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Mix in chocolate chips, if using.
- Scrape batter into an even layer on top of the crust. Top with pretzels and bake until the top is set and firm to touch, especially in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, gather and measure all your ingredients, and prepare your baking pans. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For best results, use room temperature ingredients, especially for the butter and eggs. This will help the ingredients mix together smoothly and evenly.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense brownies. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Line Your Baking Pans: To prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan, line your baking pans with parchment paper or lightly grease them with butter.
- Bake the Brownies Until a Toothpick Inserted in the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the brownies are cooked through.
- Let the Brownies Cool Completely: Before cutting and serving the brownies, let them cool completely. This will help them set and firm up.
- Store the Brownies in an Airtight Container: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Conclusion:
Salted pretzel brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right combination of ingredients and techniques, you can create a batch of brownies that is sure to impress your friends and family.
