These Salted Pretzel Marshmallow Blondies are the perfect sweet/salty/chewy/gooey treat ever!
Yes, you know I love my sweet and salty.
Has it gotten old? I read on the internets the other day that people were “OVER” sweet and salty. How is that even possible? How can one be OVER the best flavor profile ever to exist?
I didn’t even realize it was a trend! What do I know, right?
But in the spirit of killing-overdoing-repeat offendering sweet and salty I made you bars. Sweeter and saltier ones. Deal with it haters.
And while I have never been one to shake my fist at people who opinionize all over the place *ahem, I think you should make these here bars and eat 12 in the name of not being swayed by trends.
That’ll learn ’em.
There are pretzels involved. We’re fist facing food trends today, so of course pretzels are a player.
Make the batter, spread the pretzels.
Bake it up and then marshmallows. Couldn’t be a cliche of a dessert without ’em!
Spread and broil, baby!
Then let’s overdo it a little more with a chocolate drizzle. Fo shizzle.
Then you should eat them, when they are warm, gooey and completely ridiculously good.
Sigh.
