I am a sucker for a good brownie, all fudgy, and oh so delicious. However sometimes I feel it can be way too sweet, and this comes from a person with an insatiable sweet tooth.
The addition of salted pretzels and snickers however managed to balance it out so beautifully. The sweet and salty flavour is such a great combination. The chunks of caramel and peanuts give the brownies a lovely texture too!
I took almost half the batch to work with me this past weekend and I promise you everyone raved about how good they were. Don’t know about you but I love it when a recipe goes as planned and everyone loves it as much as I do.
As promised, here is the recipe, I hope you love it!
