Recipe: Sweet and Salty Pretzel Brownies (like Take 5 candy bars)

SWEET AND SALTY PRETZEL BROWNIES

"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."

8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter
60 saltine crackers, finely crushed
1 (14 ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
3 cups bite-size pretzels

You'll need a 9 inches square baking pan lined with nonstick foil to extend about 2 inches above opposite ends of pan.

Melt both chocolates and the butter in a large bowl in microwave or in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often, until blended and smooth.

Remove from heat; stir in cracker crumbs (you should have about 2 cups) and milk until blended.

Fold in 2 cups of pretzels. Spread evenly in prepared pan.

Lay remaining pretzels on top leaving space between. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 1/2 hours or until firm.

Lift foil by end onto cutting board. Cut into 6 strips then cut each strip into 6 squares.
