GF Disappearing Bars

What better name could I give these bars...they simply keep disappearing... todays recipe is dedicated to the fine folks at Glutino... the makers of our GF pretzels.  You will need a bag of these for this recipe.  Oh no, don't worry, you won't be using the entire bag... there will be left-overs for munching on while you wait for the bars to set.

GF Disappearing Bars

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 cups icing sugar
  • 3 cups Glutino GF Pretzels, broken into small pieces
  • 2 cups chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
  • wax paper for lining 13x9-inch pan
  1. Using a mixer, mix 1 1/4 cups of the peanut butter with the butter.  Mix until combined.
  2. Gradually beat in icing sugar
  3. Stir in 2 cups of GF Pretzels and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips/chunks
  4. line 13x9-inch pan with wax paper and press mixture into pan spreading evenly.  To prevent it from sticking to your hands wet your hands slightly.  
  5. melt the remaining chocolate chips/chunks (1.5 cups) in the microwave along with 3/4 cup of peanut butter.  Don't microwave for long...depending on microwave it will be about 30 -45 seconds.
  6. Spread melted chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the mixture you pressed into the pan. Spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle remaining broken Glutino Pretzels over the top of the bars.
  8. refrigerate for at least 2.5 hours..if you can wait that long.
ENJOY!

*note- store these in a airtight container in the fridge after you have cut them into bars.  Watch them disappear!
