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.

- 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.

Is it possibly that bringing up 80s country blue could make me lose my appetite? Seriously, I’m picturing my childhood kitchen full of that color + geese + weird little flowers. Mmmm…nothing says food like that combo.
Great blondies!
What was it with the geese? My mother’s kitchen had that blue with rust colored accents, and geese. I never got the geese.
These look fantastic!! Megan
Ew, I forgot about jelly shoes. So many bad 90s fashion choices, lol. These blondies look amazing!
Well, okay. If you insist.
I cannot wait to make these!
And for the record, I am in a Reese’s Cup faze. I’ll take ’em anyway I can get ’em. Mini, Dark, in ice cream, wrapped in an old shoe, doesn’t matter. I have a problem and my rear end is paying for it.
I’ve made Snickers Brownies before, but never Snickers Blondies. I’ve got to give these a try, thanks!
Mmmm, can’t go wrong with adding candy into anything! And the sweet ‘n salty combo is always nice!
I need to taste test these to make sure they’re okay to feed to the masses 😉
The bottom of these looks so delicious!
I always say that I’m on a “kick”. A Snickers kick can only mean good things. Especially when there are pretzels and blondies involved. I’m head-over-heels for these Shelly!
