Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Bars

It's that time of the month again...Surprise Recipe Swap time!  This month I had:


Cindy shares lot's of fabulous recipes, most of which are quick & easy recipes for those busy weeknights.  Her photos are mouthwatering & it seems that she has a sweet tooth like I do, hence this post.  

I chose to make these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Bars because I tend to have a hankering for all of those ingredients; like my Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Chip CookiesCaramel Pretzel Magic Bars, or Peanut Butter Wonder Bars.  I love the sweet & salty combinations.  These are right up there with all the others.  Great chewy texture, slightly sweet, slightly salty, & a little bit of crunch.  Perfection!  Try them, you won't be disappointed!
