How to make the BEST Salted Caramel Pretzel Brownies. These brownies are fudgy, gooey with salty pretzels and caramel sauce.

How to Make Salted Caramel Pretzel Brownies

  • I like to use my favorite homemade salted caramel sauce. It is the best and so easy to make. If your brownie craving is off the charts and you don’t have time to make homemade salted caramel sauce, that is ok. You can use store bought, but pro tip, ALWAYS keep a jar of salted caramel sauce in your refrigerator. It is a lifesaver for those sweet cravings!

  • I use Dutch process cocoa powder because I love the dark, intense chocolate flavor. If you don’t have Dutch process cocoa, you can use regular unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • There are chopped pretzels in the brownies and whole pretzels on top. I like the look of whole pretzels on top and it helps me cut them into nice squares. Everyone gets a full pretzel.
  • I like to sprinkle the brownies with sea salt before they go into the oven to bring out the sweet and salty flavor.

  • Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes or until set around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. I like to stick them in the fridge before cutting so I can get a nice, clean cut. The brownies are fudgy and gooey and that is a very good thing.
  • I store the brownies in the refrigerator. You can bring them to room temperature before serving, heat them up in the microwave, or eat them cold. I really like them cold too:)
  • Go all out and top the brownies with a scoop of ice cream and extra salted caramel sauce. I also like to sprinkle pretzel pieces over the top. I usually use vanilla ice cream, but my No Churn Salted Caramel Toffee Pretzel Ice Cream would be amazing with these brownies.

Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9″ x 13″ pan and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Stir until mixture is shiny, but do not let it bubble or boil. Remove from heat and pour the mixture into a large bowl.
  • Stir in the cocoa, baking powder, sea salt, and vanilla extract.
  • Stir in the eggs and stir until smooth. Add the flour, chocolate chips, and chopped pretzels.
  • Pour half of the batter into prepared pan. Drizzle the salted caramel sauce evenly over the brownie batter. Top with the remaining brownie batter and smooth with a spatula. Top with whole pretzels and sprinkle with additional sea salt.
  • Bake the brownies for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Remove pan from the oven and cool on a rack. Cut into squares and serve.
  • Note-the brownies will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Bring to room temperature before serving. I like to eat them cold too:) They are also great served with a scoop of ice cream and extra caramel sauce.

    Great recipe.
    Thank you.
    Suggestion:
    “Bloom” your Cocoa Powder in the butter first, before combining other ingredients.

    Have a nice day.
