With the holidays rolling around quickly, I'm gathering my favorite cookie and cookie bar recipes to share with my friends during my annual Cookie Exchange. I thought I'd start off with an easy to prepare cookie bar recipe that the whole family can enjoy.
Pretzel Bars
1-1/2 cups crushed pretzels
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup (6 ounces) chocolate chips*
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut (optional)**
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pretzels and butter; mix well and press into the bottom of the baking dish. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the pretzel mixture then sprinkle evenly with the chips, pecans, and coconut. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool for 10 minutes then chill for 30 minutes before cutting into bars.
Makes 20 to 24 bars.
*Peanut butter chips are a tasty alternative to the chocolate chips.
**My family is not crazy about coconut so I don't put any on for the batch for home.
