Triple Chocolate Pretzel Brownies Recipe

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides.

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. Set aside for a few minutes.

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. 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 by inserting a toothpick in the center.*

Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Serve and enjoy!
