These Peanut Butter Pretzel Brownies are a great treat to make with leftover candy from Halloween!

Peanut Butter Pretzel Brownies

My favorite candy is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!  They are chocolate-y, peanut buttery morsels of heaven.  And I have no idea why they test better in the egg or pumpkin form.  When challenged to make a recipe using left over Halloween candy, I knew I had to incorporate these yummy little nougats.  

These brownies consist of 3 layers. The bottom layer is brownie mix, middle layer is pretzels and peanut butter cups and finally the top crunchy layer. They are so easy to make!

I loved the idea of using pretzels to change these into Take Five tasting brownies!

Use your favorite brownie box mix to create the bottom layer of these brownies.

While they are baking, cut up your Reese’s pumpkins.  I used 14 of them.  Place them in a bowl and set aside. Break up about a cup of pretzel sticks and added them to the peanut butter cup dish.

Take the brownies out of the oven about 5 minutes early and sprinkle the peanut butter and pretzel mixture on top to create the middle layer.  Return to the oven for the remaining 5 minutes.

Once they get all melty, spread the mixture out on top.

Then melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter together. Finally add the rice krispies to create a crunchie topping. Spread the chocolate/peanut butter/rice krispie mixture on top.  

Chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Yummy, deliciousness!

Am I the only one who raids the kiddo’s candy for Reese’s PB cups?
