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.

These Pretzel Bottom Snickers Blondies are the perfect sweet and salty combo! They’re ultra buttery, chewy and delicious dessert bars with a crunch!
Ingredients
- 3 cups pretzel twists
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

- 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.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
- Let cool completely or overnight before slicing.

I love your Snickers obsession/faze!!! And these sound wonderful!!! I even have all the ingredients so I’m totally going to make these today! Thanks!
These look so delish. I would eat the whole thing all by myself within 5 minutes of them coming out of the oven.
Hey, I just made blondies too! 🙂 Adding Snickers and pretzels sounds completely evil and awesome. If your Snickers phase goes on and on, I won’t complain a bit. Right now I’m in a Doctor Who phase that is waaay past ‘phase’ and firmly in ‘obsession’ territory. Thanks for sharing!
Again, you’ve managed to combine some of my favorite things ever. *sigh* I will never lose weight… LOL
Pretzel bottomed ANYTHING sounds wonderful.
It’s okay…I’m totally in a Call Me Maybe phase, which is way more embarrassing than a snickers phase. And way less tasty. Also, yours produces sweet and salty bites of heaven. So you win!
omg – these look amazing! Love your photos 🙂
These look amazing, but I have a bag of mini-Reeses to use…think they would work or would the consistency be too mushy??? Thanks!
Love sweet and salty! Perfection!
I am in complete support of your Snickers faze! Such a good idea to just put pretzels on the bottom like that.
I was reading along thinking, these look pretty good, yeah, not bad, I could definitely eat those. I don’t know why, but the moment you showed the undersides with the pretzels showing through was the moment I thought, “Oh dear goodness I have got to make these NOW!”
My mouth is watering thinking about the salty, sweet, chocolatey, nougaty, peanutty goodness!
