- Slowly beat sugars into peanut butter until well-combined. Add 1 1/2 cup pretzels and beat to combine.
- Press mixture into the bottom of prepared baking dish.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt together chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter.

- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting into bars and serving.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
