Peanut Butter Pretzel Magic Bars

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups crushed mini pretzel twists

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

12 tablespoons salted butter, melted

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups peanut butter chips

1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

1 1/4 cups sweetened coconut flakes

1 cup butterscotch chips

14 oz sweetened condensed milk

Directions:

Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Prepare Pretzel Crust:

Crush the mini pretzel twists into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.

In a bowl, mix the crushed pretzels with the granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined.

Press the pretzel mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Refrigerate the crust for about 10 minutes to set.

Prepare Peanut Butter Layer:

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and melted.

Spread the peanut butter and chocolate mixture evenly over the chilled pretzel crust.

Add Toppings:

In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter chips, milk chocolate chips, sweetened coconut flakes, and butterscotch chips.

Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer.

Add Condensed Milk:

Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the bars, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Cool and Serve:

Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the baking dish.

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the dish.

Cut into squares and serve.
