Pretzeled Bottomed Snickers Blondies Are As Good As They Sound!
You know sometimes when you just get stuck on something? I guess you could call it a phase.Or an obsession. No, let’s say phase. It sounds less crazy.
Usually you have to grow out of a phase. Let it run it’s course…Like jelly shoes in elementary school, or “Country Blue” in the 80s…Phases aren’t always a bad thing, they just are.
Right now, smack dab in the middle of my Snickers phase. Obviously they have been around a while. They’re not new on the scene…they’re not a fleeting trend. But lately I have just been all about a Snickers bar. Or actually, I’ve been all about the snack sized Snickers bar. Because they’re smaller than a full sized (obviously) and I tell myself I will just eat one…or two…
Then 15 minutes later I am surrounded by candy wrappers. And I realize I should have just eaten a full sized bar. I really need to get control of my life.
But in the meantime, let’s bake some Pretzel Bottom Snickers Blondies. Because they are EVERYTHING.
How to Make These Sweet & Salty Blondies
To get the “pretzel bottom” all you have to do is dump your pretzels into the bottom of your prepared pan. Obviously, you want them to be evenly distributed, but don’t waste too much energy on this step.
Chop up a bunch of Snickers…about 8 full-sized bars. But you can also use snack sized, it even those little pop-able unwrapped ones. Whatever you’re feeling…
The dough is something to behold.
Spread the dough evenly over the pretzels and pop that whole situation in the oven.
You will have to let them cool completely to get perfect slices. Or even let them cool overnight if you have self control. I generally don’t.
And then flip them over and see the pretty pretzels.

- Add in the eggs, vanilla, baking soda, and salt and continue mixing for another minute, until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Turn mixer to low, add in the flour, mixing until just combined.
- Mix in the Snickers until evenly incorporated and spread the dough in the pan on top of the pretzels.

- Let cool completely or overnight before slicing.

I am allllll about your Snickers phase. Heck yes!! 😀
I went on a serious Snickers rampage the moment I gave birth to my daughter. I’m pretty sure my husband ended up emptying out the hospital vending room for me. Those were the best Snickers I’ve ever eaten.
I did the same thing after I had my first! I literally made my husband go to Sams and buy me a huge box of Snickers. And I wondered why it took me so long to lose the baby weight 😉
I’ll take two with my cup of tea this AM… as I sit here in my gym clothes procrastinating about actually walking out the door to exercise 😉
Awww yeah! I love it!
You’re going through a snicker phase? *snicker snicker* So does that include snickering while eating your snickers.
Okay, it’s not funny, I’ll stop. But, seriously, I don’t think you (or I or anyone) can get over snichers. Just like my addiction to peanut butter. It’s there. It always will be. Why suppress it? Not to mention the chocolately caramel peanutty goodness.
MMMMMM!!!!! These look delish!
I cringed when I saw stores trying to bring back ‘jellies.’ Nope, they should stay dead, forever. Faze = over.
These sound AMAZING! Yes, I’ve added them to the list…
I don’t have words other than: I love you. BUt my hips hate you.
