SALTED PRETZEL BROWNIES
Sprinkling flaky sea salt on brownies makes their bittersweet nature pop; it's the kind of flavor contrast that keeps you coming back for more (as if the brownies themselves weren't enough). Here, pretzels work in the same way, adding crunch and a toasty character as well. Hiding beneath the brownie batter, a graham cracker and crushed pretzel crust gives the bars a cookielike appeal run through with salted caramel notes. Go ahead and try to eat just one.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square metal baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of excess on each side to help you lift the cooked brownies out of the pan.
- Make the crust: In a food processor, combine butter, graham cracker crumbs, crushed pretzels and egg white. Process until mixture is well blended. Transfer to prepared pan and press crumb mixture into an even layer on the bottom. Bake until deeply browned at the edges, about 14 to 17 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool.
- Make the brownies: Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees. Put butter and chocolate into a medium pot and place it over low heat. Melt the mixture, taking care not to let the chocolate burn and stirring constantly with a rubber spatula until smooth. Scrape chocolate mixture into a large bowl and mix in the sugar. Let mixture cool until it's just warm to the touch, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk eggs into cooled chocolate mixture. Whisk in flour, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Mix in chocolate chips, if using.
- Scrape batter into an even layer on top of the crust. Top with pretzels and bake until the top is set and firm to touch, especially in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium-large saucepan, melt the butter with the bittersweet chocolate over low heat, whisking occasionally until smooth and melted. Sprinkle in the cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Stir the sugar and vanilla into the chocolate mixture until just combined. One at a time, stir in the eggs. Gently stir in the flour until halfway incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and stir just until combined.
- Sprinkle half of the pretzels in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Pour the batter (it will be very thick!) in the pan over the pretzels. Spread to even out the top and arrange the remaining pretzels all over the top.
- Bake for 40 minutes, then check the brownies with a toothpick. If overly gooey/messy, return the pan to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes, being careful not to burn the edges. Allow to cool completely (important!), then cut into small squares.
SALTED PRETZEL-MARSHMALLOW BARS
Steps:
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch-square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray.
- Pulse 1 cup pretzel pieces in a food processor until finely ground (you should have about 1/2 cup crumbs). Transfer to a bowl. Whisk in the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the brown sugar. Let cool slightly, then stir in the eggs and vanilla. Stir the pretzel crumb mixture into the butter mixture in two additions.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup pretzel pieces on top. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack, then lift the foil to remove the bars from the pan and transfer to a baking sheet.
- Preheat the broiler. Press the marshmallow halves, cut-side down, in even rows on top of the bars. Broil, rotating the baking sheet as needed, until the marshmallows are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; let cool.
- Put the peanut butter chips and 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted and smooth. Repeat with the chocolate chips and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil in another bowl. Drizzle the melted peanut butter and chocolate mixtures over the bars. Let harden at room temperature or chill to set before cutting.

Steps:
- For the brownies: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, pressing the parchment into the corners and up the sides of the pan and leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Butter the parchment and dust lightly with flour.
- Melt the 1 stick butter in a small saucepan or high-sided skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped chocolate and cook, stirring constantly, until mostly melted. Remove from the heat and continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl, let cool for 10 minutes and then whisk in the eggs, water and vanilla.
- In another large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt; whisk to combine. Transfer the dry ingredients to the melted chocolate then fold with a rubber spatula to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
- For the topping: Stir together the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and melted butter in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Spoon dollops of the peanut butter mixture on top of the brownie batter. Holding a butter knife vertically, swirl up and down and horizontally and vertically until the batter and topping are nicely swirled together. Sprinkle the chopped pretzels over the top.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs, about 35 minutes.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Using the parchment "handles," lift the brownies out of the baking dish and transfer to a cutting board to cool completely before slicing into 12 bars.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with cooking spray and top with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each of the short sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
- Remove 1/4 cup of the cookie dough and reserve. Divide the remaining cookie dough into 3 equal portions. With the long sides of the prepared sheet pan positioned horizontally in front of you, visualize the pan divided into 8 even sections: 4 sections in the top row and 4 sections in the bottom row. Press one portion of the cookie dough into the top right section. Press a second portion of the dough into the section diagonally below and to the left of the first. Press the last portion of the dough into the bottom left corner.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions. Divide the batter among the remaining 5 sections (about 1/2 cup batter per section).
- Working from left to right on the top row, swirl 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter into the brownie batter in the top left corner. Press 6 of the chocolate sandwich cookies on top of the batter in the next section. Roll the reserved cookie dough into balls and arrange on top of each chocolate sandwich cookie and in the large diamond-shaped gaps between the cookies (do not place the balls too close to the edges of the section, or they may spread into the other sections). Swirl the dulce de leche into the batter in the next section and top with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt. Press the candy-coated chocolates into the cookie dough in the top right section.
- Working from left to right on the bottom row, press the crushed potato chips into the cookie dough in the first section, then arrange the pretzels on top. Press the graham cracker bears into the brownie batter in the next section. Top the next cookie section with alternating rows of cream cheese bits and white chocolate chips. Last, sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips on the final section of brownie batter.
- Bake until the cookies are golden and the brownies are set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a rack.
- Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: Microwave the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until smooth and pourable, about 15 seconds. Crush the remaining 2 chocolate sandwich cookies. Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag.
- Drizzle the warm peanut butter over the swirled peanut-butter brownie section and top with the crushed peanuts. Sprinkle the remaining crushed chocolate sandwich cookies over the section containing the whole cookies. Swirl the frosting over the candy-coated chocolate candy section and top with the rainbow sprinkles. Top the graham cracker bears with the mini marshmallows and toast with a small kitchen torch (or broil the marshmallows under a low broiler for about 1 minute). Last, sprinkle the freeze-dried raspberries over the chocolate chip brownie on the bottom right.
- Lift the finished brownie-cookie bar out of the pan and remove the parchment paper. Slice vertically in 8 pieces and horizontally in 4 pieces to create multi-flavored pieces.

- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished brownies out.
- Melt the butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a large bowl in the microwave. Melt in 30 second increments and stir after each time until the butter is completely melted. The mixture will look gritty. Set aside for a few minutes as you get the other ingredients ready. You don’t want the mixture to be piping hot.
- Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition. The batter will be thick and look shiny. Add the flour, beating with a whisk until fully combined. Try not to overmix the batter at this point. The batter will be very, very thick. Gently fold the chocolate covered pretzels into the batter, leaving a few to sprinkle on top. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. You may need to pat down the batter with your fingers to get it smooth. Scatter the chocolate chips and reserved chocolate covered pretzel pieces on top. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt.
- Bake for 25 minutes and check the brownies for doneness. Insert a toothpick inserted in the center. If it comes out with only a few crumbs, the brownies are done. Bake for 3-5 minutes if the brownies look too liquidy. Do not bake over 30 minutes.
