Patriotic Brownie with a Pretzel Crust

Brownies· Recipe Archive

Patriotic Brownie with a Pretzel Crust is a great mashup of warm brownie, cold ice cream and fresh fruit topped with caramel and chocolate.

Patriotic Brownie with a Pretzel Crust is my only patriotic creation I am making for this holiday. I love making simple and easy every day desserts look so special. And if I can make the dish even a bit healthier than normal I call it a bonus! If you are pressed for time or ingredients you can always use your favorite box brownie mix and a ready made chocolate and caramel topping. The added fresh fruit is what makes this super yummy dessert a delightful presentation for any get together of family, a night with the girls, or just a quiet after dinner treat with your family. Everyone that tried this loved the taste. If you make it please share it and your experiences in the comments below. How would you change it to reflect your style?

  • 7 ounces unsweetened chocolate coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Instructions

To make pretzel crust:

  • Stir together pretzels, the 1/2 cup flour, the brown sugar, and baking soda.

  • Pat mixture into the bottom of an 11x7x1-1/2-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.

To make the brownie:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly grease a 9-inch square by 2-inch deep baking pan; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine chocolate, butter, and the water.

Such a blessing to have you a fellow cohostess, love your recipes (even if I don’t *always*comment on them, I read 200+ blogs weekly, can’t comment on all of them, not enough time!!).
