Make a “touchdown” with these Chewy Peanut Brittle Brownies! Full of so much flavor your game watches might get a “holding” penalty for not sharing.

Make sure to double the recipe. I took these to a Tailgating party and they were gone almost before I could get them unwrapped. Of course any dessert that starts with peanut brittle is going to be good in my book. Plus adding a salty element like pretzels gives these Chewy Peanut Brittle Brownies a salted caramel taste without making caramel!

These brownies are delicious in so many ways. Starting with the crust; melted butter mixed with pretzels, peanut brittle and brown sugar all pressed in the bottom of a pan. OH MY! 🙂

Then there’s the filling! More butter, peanut brittle, brown sugar and marshmallows!

Then all of this is baked to perfection!

If that wasn’t enough these Chewy Peanut Brittle Brownies are drizzled with caramel ice cream topping plus sprinkled with more pretzels!

Now that your mouth is watering make sure you add these Chewy Peanut Brittle Brownies to this weeks menu.
