Pretzel Brownie Pies

Erica's Sweet Tooth Concocts a Calorie-Filled Dessert

— May 1, 2014 — Lifestyle
Erica's Sweet Tooth has concocted a not-so-diet-conscious dessert that will have your mouth watering in seconds: a pretzel brownie pie. The desert takes some time to make, but when it's done you'll be happy you put in the effort.

The crust of this dessert is by far the best part. Instead of using cookie crumbs like one would for a cheesecake, the recipe calls for pretzels instead. It's something so simple but not an ingredient that one would normally associate with a crust. The basics of the pie consists of this delicious crust, a brownie base along with a peanut butter spread on top. The pie can be served with extra pretzels for garnish on top.
