CHUBBY HUBBY CHOCOLATE BARS

INGREDIENTS

16 ounces semisweet chocolate, ( finely chopped and divided)

3 cups pretzel sticks

4 tbsp unsalted butter ( melted)

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

METHOD

Line a 9×13- inch pan with parchment paper, allowing excess to hang over the sides.

Place half chocolate in a medium bowl. Microwave on 50 per cent power in 30- second increments, stirring after each, until completely melted. Pour chocolate into an even layer in a pan.

Gently place the pretzel sticks in an even layer, on top of the melted chocolate. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you prepare the next layer.

Whisk melted butter and peanut butter together, then whisk in the powdered sugar until completely smooth. Spread in an even layer over the pretzels.

Melt remaining half of the chocolate using the same method as in step 2.

Pour melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and use an offset spatula to spread in an even layer.

Return pan to the refrigerator until set, about 30 minutes. Cut into bars and serve. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
