these were great little treats! my family just kept munching these down all weekend. We all agreed they're 5 star worthy. Yum!

I don't know what went wrong here...I followed the recipe to a 't'. These were grainy and oddly 'milky' (I even went back to make sure the milk was still good, it was) despite the abundance of chocolate. I even waited until the next day to see if they'd get better with more chill time. I'm sad to say that no, they didn't improve and the whole lot was thrown out.

these are totally habit-forming, lucky I gave these to my DS and GF or I would have finished them off myself, I used regular canned condensed milk next time I am going to try these using my recipe#73863, thanks for sharing Coffee!

A delicious nice nice snack for us today. The brownie/pretzel idea is outstanding, and we really enjoyed them. The preparation is simple, and a saver for me. Made for Potluck tag.

Yet another one of the chocolate &/or brownie recipes I made over the weekend for a group I hosted ~ Was intregued with the combo of pretzels & brownies (I've enjoyed pretzels dipped in chocolate, but in brownies is new to me!), so had to try them! Really enjoyed the taste of sweet & salt in these, & they're well worth making again! Even shared the recipe with three of my guests! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar Tag]
