SALTED PRETZEL BROWNIES

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 2h40m

Yield 12 to 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, plus more for buttering the pan
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups thin salted pretzels, lightly crushed

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.

I found this amazing recipe in Woman's Day magazine. Trust me this recipe is delicious, rich and decadent. It has slightly more of a candy bar texture than brownie. It reminds me of a Take 5 candy bar. I made this for Mother's Day and everyone thinks I'm genius. Baking time includes refrigeration.

SALTED PRETZEL BROWNIES



Salted Pretzel Brownies image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted, plus more for greasing the pan
1 cup/120 grams graham cracker crumbs (from about 7 graham cracker sheets)
1/2 cup/30 grams finely crushed pretzels
1 egg white
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick)
4 ounces/115 grams unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped or broken up
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup/65 grams all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/3 cup/60 grams mini or regular chocolate chips (optional)
Small whole pretzels, for topping the brownies

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.

Time 1h

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (14 ounce) bag individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped, divided
1 (19.8 ounce) package fudge brownie mix (such as Betty Crocker®)

2 eggs
¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup chopped pretzels
¾ cup chocolate chips
⅓ cup chocolate-covered toffee bits

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cut 9 caramels in half.
  • Beat brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs together in a bowl until batter is well-combined. Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Place caramel halves in 3 rows of 6 in the brownie batter so that there will be a caramel half in the center of each brownie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Melt remaining caramels, butter, and milk together in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Pour caramel mixture over warm brownies and top with pretzels, chocolate chips, and toffee bits. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

Tips:

  • For a chewier brownie, use less flour and more butter.
  • To make the brownies fudgier, use more chocolate and less flour.
  • If you don't have a measuring cup, you can use the brownie mix box as a measuring device. One box of brownie mix is equal to 2 cups.
  • To make sure the brownies are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the brownies are done.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap the brownies tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag.
  • When you're ready to serve the brownies, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for about 2 hours.

Conclusion:

These sweet and salty pretzel brownies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make and always a hit with everyone who tries them. The combination of sweet and salty flavors is irresistible, and the pretzels add a nice crunch. If you're looking for a delicious and unique brownie recipe, definitely give these a try.
