Peanut Butter Pretzel Caramel Swirl Brownies

Peanut Butter Pretzel Caramel Swirl Brownies I have officially decided via a very unofficial and extremely tiny poll on Facebook (okay it was two people) that everyone loves peanut butter, pretzels, caramel and chocolate together.  More specifically they really like it when it is in a brownie.

My little crowd sourcing began mostly because I was looking for some sort of motivation to get writing and it ended up as a conversation between myself and Anita from the Hungry Couple about how brownies just sell themselves. Oh that second person, that’d be my trainer reminding me to bake another batch and bring her some to my next class 🙂 .

So yes, delicious chocolatey, fudgy, double dose of peanut buttery and caramel swirly brownies.  Sold? I thought so.  That double dose of peanut butter?  That comes from peanut butter filled pretzels, plus peanut butter in the batter.

I’d go on, but yours truly is still trying to recover from my awesome weekend at Eat, Write, Retreat.  I’ll bring you a recap next week, but going into the jam packed weekend recovering from a cold has left me exhausted this week.  I think I’m going to sleep all weekend!
