Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/2 cup chocolate-covered pretzels
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with butter or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil as directed on the box mix instructions. Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth and well combined.
- Roughly chop half of the chocolate-covered pretzels into smaller pieces. Reserve some whole pretzels for topping.
- Fold the chopped chocolate-covered pretzels and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the brownie batter, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- While cooling, melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled brownies in a zigzag pattern.
- Arrange the reserved whole chocolate-covered pretzels on top of the brownies as a decorative garnish.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting into 12 equal squares.
- For best results, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to help the white chocolate set and make cutting easier.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and more even baking.
- Don't overmix the brownie batter – mix just until ingredients are combined to keep brownies fudgy.
- For ultra-clean cuts, use a hot knife wiped with a warm, damp cloth between slices.
- If you want extra crunch, lightly toast the pretzels in the oven for 2-3 minutes before chopping.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a more indulgent version, add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the white chocolate drizzle.
- Make sure to let the brownies cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
