It’s summer, and we’re back, bitchez. Because we have loads of free time, and our menfolk just loaded up with more baking supplies than our post-Senior Week bodies are prepared to deal with. (Sidenote: stop by H206 and eat our food. Please.)
You will need:
2 1/2 cups crushed pretzels
1 stick butter
1 box brownie mix and associated ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
a splash of milk (sorry, I made this up, I don’t know)
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
a cup of chocolate chips? no idea
First thing is pretzel crust. Crush pretzels and mix with 1 stick melted butter. Press into the bottom of a brownie pan and bake at 350 for like 7 minutes, until kinda crispy. Do not dump baked pretzels into the bottom of the oven, as this will fill the kitchen with smoke and put you at risk of setting off sprinklers the second night you’re in the apartment.

While that’s hopefully not happening, mix up brownie mix. When the crust is done (not being scraped out of the bottom of your heated oven with a cheese grater and cookie sheet), pour brownie mix on top and bake for what your box suggests.

| Definitely don't turn off the oven- that wastes time. |
Now time for ganache! Put the last 4 ingredients in a microwave safe bowl, and heat for 30 seconds. Stir. Do another 30 seconds. Taste. Marvel. While brownies are warm, spread ganache on top and add toppings (chocolate chips, Reese’s pieces, pretzels). Refrigerate to set ganache, and cut with a plastic knife when cool.
