    Title: Salted Pretzel Brownies
    Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Chocolate, Desserts
    Yield: 16 servings

    MMMMM---------------------------CRUST--------------------------------
    1/2 c (115 g) unsalted butter;
    - melted, more for greasing
    - the pan
    1 c (120 g) graham cracker
    - crumbs
    1/2 c (30 g) fine crushed
    - pretzels
    1 Egg white

    MMMMM--------------------------BROWNIES-------------------------------
    1/2 c (115 g) unsalted butter
    4 oz (115 g) unsweetened
    - chocolate; coarse chopped
    1 1/4 c (250 g) granulated sugar
    2 lg Eggs; room temp
    1/2 c (65 g) all-purpose flour
    2 tb Dutch-processed cocoa
    - powder
    2 ts Vanilla extract
    3/4 ts Fine sea salt
    1/3 c (60 g) chocolate chips
    - (opt)
    sm Whole pretzels; for topping
    - the brownies

    Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    Lightly butter an 8" square metal baking pan and line it
    with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of excess
    on each side to help you lift the cooked brownies out of
    the pan.

    MAKE THE CRUST: In a food processor, combine butter,
    graham cracker crumbs, crushed pretzels and egg white.
    Process until mixture is well blended. Transfer to
    prepared pan and press crumb mixture into an even layer
    on the bottom. Bake until deeply browned at the edges,
    about 14 to 17 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to
    cool.

    MAKE THE BROWNIES: Raise oven temperature to 400
    degrees. Put butter and chocolate into a medium pot and
    place it over low heat. Melt the mixture, taking care
    not to let the chocolate burn and stirring constantly
    with a rubber spatula until smooth. Scrape chocolate
    mixture into a large bowl and mix in the sugar. Let
    mixture cool until it’s just warm to the touch, about 5
    minutes.

    Whisk eggs into cooled chocolate mixture. Whisk in
    flour, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Mix in chocolate
    chips, if using.

    Scrape batter into an even layer on top of the crust.
    Top with pretzels and bake until the top is set and firm
    to touch, especially in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.

    Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely
    before cutting into 16 squares.

    Title: Yogurt-Covered Pretzels
    Categories: Five, Breads, Dairy, Snacks
    Yield: 4 Servings

    15 oz Bag miniature pretzels
    2 c Yogurt; your pick of flavor
    - and variety
    5 c Confectioners' sugar
    1 c Melting chocolate; opt
    2 tb Seedless preserves; your
    - preferred flavor, opt

    Set your oven @ 250ºF/121ºC.

    Next, combine the confectioners sugar and yogurt in a
    large mixing bowl and blend together with a handheld
    mixer. If you choose to add any seedless preserves,
    spoon them in and mix with the sugar and yogurt until
    the mixture takes on the color of the preserves.

    Alternatively, if you want to add chocolate to your
    pretzel coating, put the melting chocolates in a
    microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds or until
    melted, then add to the yogurt mixture and mix until
    well-blended.

    Using tweezers, tongs or chopsticks, dip your pretzels
    into your yogurt mixture one at a time, coating them
    completely and laying them out on wire cooling racks
    placed on top of baking sheets.

    When all your pretzels are coated and laid out, turn the
    oven off and place the baking sheets and wire racks
    inside, leaving the door ajar to prevent the pretzels
    from becoming soggy.

    Let the coated pretzels harden for 3-4 hours, then
    remove them from the oven. Enjoy! Make sure to store
    your leftovers in an airtight container.
