- 156 grams pretzels (or 5.5 ounces)
- 1 jar natural smooth peanut butter (500 grams)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 chocolate bars (6 ounces)
Place the pretzels in your food processor and process until you have pretzel pieces the size that you like.
Place a pot on the stove on low heat. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until the ingredients are combined and smooth.
Turn off the heat and stir in the pretzel pieces.
Line an 8" x 8" pan with parchment paper and transfer the peanut butter pretzel mixture to the pan. Spread it out evenly with a spoon or knife.
Melt the chocolate bars in a microwave safe dish by heating them on high in 30 second intervals, until melted.
Pour the melted chocolate onto the peanut butter pretzel layer and spread it evenly until smooth. Place the pan in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until the chocolate is set. Remove the pan from the freezer and cut the bars into pieces.
- Use a hot knife to cut the bars into pieces more easily.
