sweet & salty cookie bars Why choose between a sweet treat or a salty snack, when you can have both in these Sweet & Salty Cookie Bars? Loaded with different kinds of chocolate and pretzels, these treats are so easy to make. They are quite sweet, so I’d recommend cutting them into small squares for serving. For an extra special treat, heat them slightly before serving, and top them with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Ingredients:
8.
Pour batter into prepared baking pan, and smooth it out so it’s spread evenly in the pan.
9.
Sprinkle the remaining Smarties, Rolos and milk chocolate chips on top.
•
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
•
1 cup brown sugar, packed
•
1 egg
•
1 teaspoon vanilla
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
11. Let cool completely before removing from pan and cutting into squares.
•
1 cup pretzels, broken into pieces
12. Store in the refrigerator in food storage bag.
•
1 cup Smarties
•
1 cup mini Rolo chocolates
•
1 cup milk chocolate chips
10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Directions: 1.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
2.
Line an 8” x 8” baking pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
3.
In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar together (medium speed) until well blended.
4.
Add egg and vanilla, and beat on medium speed until well blended.
5.
Stir in flour until blended well.
6.
Pour in all of the pretzels, and then ¾ cup each of the Smarties, Rolos and chocolate chips. Leave the ¼ cup each of Smarties, Rolos and chocolate chips to the side for now.
7.
Stir until well mixed.
