Ingredients

  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted and lightly browned
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (200 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups lightly crushed mini pretzels, measured loosely
  • 16 mini pretzel twists (for topping)
  • ⅔ cup caramel sauce, divided
  • Sea salt or kosher salt for sprinkling, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter until lightly browned and aromatic, about 6 minutes. Cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk browned butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly pale, about 5 minutes by hand.
  5. Fold in dry ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
  6. Stir in crushed pretzels. Batter will be thick.
  7. Spread batter into prepared pan. Top with 16 mini pretzel twists (4×4 grid).
  8. Drizzle ⅓ cup caramel sauce over the top in a zigzag pattern.
  9. Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick inserted away from caramel comes out mostly clean.
  10. Remove from oven, drizzle remaining ⅓ cup caramel sauce, and sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Cool for 1 hour before cutting into 16 squares.

Notes

  • Use store-bought or homemade caramel sauce.
  • Add chocolate chips for a richer twist.
  • Double recipe and bake in a 9×13-inch pan for more servings.
  • Substitute pretzels with potato chips or crackers for a different crunch.
  • Use a flax egg to make it egg-free.
