Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 1/2 cup peanut butter. Mix well.
Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 9×9-inch baking pan to form a crust.
In another bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter with powdered sugar until smooth.
Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the pretzel crust.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until melted and smooth.
Pour the caramel evenly over the peanut butter layer and spread with a spatula.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and spread it evenly.
Refrigerate the pan for about 1–2 hours until fully set.
Once firm, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For an extra salty touch, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate layer before chilling.
You can use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
