Ingredients




1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 cup light or dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup pretzel pieces
½ cup mini peanut butter cups

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 8 x 8 baking pan with aluminum foil, then grease the pan. 2 In a small saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, continue to cook it until it is golden brown in color (~5-10 min). 3 Once you have browned the butter take the pan off the heat. Then add the brown sugar and vanilla. Next add the egg, stir until incorporated. 4 Add the flour and salt to the saucepan and mix until just incorporated. Add the pretzel pieces and mini peanut butter cups and stir until these are equally distributed. 5 Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick is clean when inserted into the center of the pan. 6 Cool on a wire rack, then cut into 16 pieces and serve!
