The perfect combo: peanut butter, pretzels and chocolate . . .
Welcome to The Emotional Baker. I’m so glad you’re here!
This blog has been in the making for the past five months. When I set out to start this blog, I wanted to personalize every aspect – from the photos to the blog design. In return, I’ve been immersing myself into staging food, relearning HTML code and developing new recipes.
It’s been long and tedious, but I know one day it will all be worth it. There’s still more work to do, and I’d love to hear what you all think, but I’m glad I’ve made it this far.
This recipe was developed in the early months of summer. When I returned home from college, I had lots of mismatched items leftover from my apartment. Half a jar of peanut butter, an open bag of pretzels and other odds and ends. I was afraid they would not get eaten, so I set out to find a new use for them.
These bars are very similar to other peanut butter chocolate bars, but in place of the typical graham crackers is crushed pretzels. I used hard pretzels, but I’m sure any kind would do. In the end, these bars are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. I’m not always a fan of baked treats with salt, but these are perfect.
Once again, thank you for stopping by The Emotional Baker. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m so
excited to share with all of you. If you have any suggestions for how to improve the site, please let
me know (especially regarding making the site mobile friendly/ getting the text off the edge of the page!)

Love the layout of your site. I started my blog earlier this summer as well. Its fun but a lot of work 🙂
Thank you so much for visiting, Laura! I can’t wait to see what you bake!
These look delicious! I love salty-sweet desserts, and I am a peanut butter addict. I started blogging regularly (posting once a week) just a few months ago. It is hard work, but it’s a great way to keep track of and share everything I make!
Thanks for stopping by, Aida! I can’t wait to share more treats and see what you’ve been making.

Thank you for your sweet words, Consuelo. Let me know when you try the bars. I’d love to hear how they turn out!
These look scrumptious! Does the powdered sugar go in the bottom layer? I’m thinking it does 🙂 I hope to make these!!!
Ooops! Thanks for pointing that out, Liz! You are right. I will update the recipe soon.

I’m just approaching my 1st year anniversary of blogging. It’s been a fun journey so far but with so much more to learn. Your blog looks lovely as do your pretzel bars. Visiting from Moonlight and Mason Jars.
