Super easy to make, my Triple Chocolate Pretzel Brownies don't require a mixer and are ready in 35 minutes The most difficult thing about them is getting your kids to wait for them to cool down! Seriously, my boys will hack away at the pan as soon as I turn my back!
SO WHAT MAKES THESE BROWNIES SO GOOD?
Real ingredients = real flavour.
- Melted dark chocolate make my Triple Chocolate Pretzel Brownies super fudgy.
- Unsalted butter, not oil, makes the brownies rich and smooth (no greasy brownies here!)
- Brown and white sugars give sweetness, with the brown sugar really bringing that rich flavour home.
- Another shot of chocolate -I use milk chocolate chips as well, which keeps my boys happy.
- Chocolate coated pretzels give the brownies a lovely salty, crunchy hit.
TIPS FOR THE BEST TRIPLE CHOCOLATE PRETZEL BROWNIES
- When folding in the dry ingredients, stop when there's still 1 or 2 flour spots -you don't want to overmix them.
- I found chocolate coated pretzels at Costco. If you can't find chocolate coated pretzels, regular pretzels will also work.
- Brownies will continue to cook a little while cooling in the pan, so make sure you're not tempted to overbake -they should still be slightly gooey when they come out of the oven.
- I cook my brownies in a conventional oven (no fan). I find that a fan-forced bake tends to dry them out too quickly.
- To make cutting the brownies less messy, try popping the cooled brownies (still in the pan) into the freezer for 10 minutes, then cut into slices.
WHY YOU Will Love These Easy Brownies
