Can I use a different type of nut butter?

Absolutely! As I mentioned earlier, you can swap out the peanut butter for any nut butter you like. Almond butter, cashew butter, or even hazelnut spread would all be delicious in this recipe.

How do I know when the brownies are done?

The key is to keep an eye on that beautiful, shiny crust. When it starts to look a little dry and crackly, that's a good sign they're ready to come out of the oven. And don't forget the toothpick test – if it comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs), you're good to go!

Can I make these ahead of time?

You sure can! In fact, I'd recommend making the brownie batter up to 2 days in advance and keeping it in the fridge. That way, all you have to do on game day is pop it in the oven and let the magic happen. 🔥

What's the best way to serve these brownies?

Warm and gooey, straight out of the oven, is the way to go! The melty peanut butter and fudgy chocolate will have everyone fighting over the last piece. 🤤 But if you've got leftovers, you can always reheat them in the microwave for a quick and easy snack.

Can I customize the toppings?

Absolutely! Get creative with the toppings – a drizzle of melted chocolate, a sprinkle of sea salt, or even a dollop of whipped cream would all be amazing. And don't forget, you can swap out the pretzels for crushed potato chips or Fritos if you're feeling extra adventurous. 🤩

GAME DAY DESSERT IDEAS FOR SPORTS PARTIES 🏈

Ingredients

– 2 cups pretzel sticks

– 1 cup creamy peanut butter

– 1 cup powdered sugar

– 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

– 2 tablespoons coconut oil

– Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar until well blended.
Take a pretzel stick and dip it into the peanut butter mixture, covering it completely. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat until all pretzels are coated.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Dip each coated pretzel into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place back on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on each chocolate-covered pretzel.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Notes

– You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter if you have nut allergies.

– Add toppings like crushed nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets for extra flair.
