Toffee Pretzel Brownies

Do not lick the computer screen...get your own!
I was asked to bring a dessert to the Superbowl party we were attending. Now our friends are not exactly football fans, this was more a time to hang out and get our food on! I decided brownies were going to be the way to go, but I didn't want to just make regular chocolate brownies, so I stepped it up a bit by adding Heath Bar chips and crushed pretzels to the top before baking! These were such a hit, at one point our host asked if anyone would judge him for eating another one, his fourth!


I did cheat and use a boxed brownie mix, in my opinion they just come out better! I used a half sheet pan for these, using two Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Brownie mix. After greasing the pan reserve 1 cup of the batter, pour the rest in and spread around. Sprinkle the top with 3-4 cups crushed (but not coarse) pretzels and toffee chips. Drizzle the reserved batter over this, it helps the keep all the pieces in place. Bake according to recipe on box. Stack with parchment paper inbetween layers. Let the diners be amazed!!
