Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Chocolate, Desserts
Yield: 16 servings

MMMMM---------------------------CRUST--------------------------------
1/2 c (115 g) unsalted butter;
- melted, more for greasing
- the pan
1 c (120 g) graham cracker
- crumbs
1/2 c (30 g) fine crushed
- pretzels
1 Egg white

MMMMM--------------------------BROWNIES-------------------------------
1/2 c (115 g) unsalted butter
4 oz (115 g) unsweetened
- chocolate; coarse chopped
1 1/4 c (250 g) granulated sugar
2 lg Eggs; room temp
1/2 c (65 g) all-purpose flour
2 tb Dutch-processed cocoa
- powder
2 ts Vanilla extract
3/4 ts Fine sea salt
1/3 c (60 g) chocolate chips
- (opt)
sm Whole pretzels; for topping
- the brownies

Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

Lightly butter an 8" square metal baking pan and line it
with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of excess
on each side to help you lift the cooked brownies out of
the pan.

MAKE THE CRUST: In a food processor, combine butter,
graham cracker crumbs, crushed pretzels and egg white.
Process until mixture is well blended. Transfer to
prepared pan and press crumb mixture into an even layer
on the bottom. Bake until deeply browned at the edges,
about 14 to 17 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to
cool.

MAKE THE BROWNIES: Raise oven temperature to 400
degrees. Put butter and chocolate into a medium pot and
place it over low heat. Melt the mixture, taking care
not to let the chocolate burn and stirring constantly
with a rubber spatula until smooth. Scrape chocolate
mixture into a large bowl and mix in the sugar. Let
mixture cool until it’s just warm to the touch, about 5
minutes.

Whisk eggs into cooled chocolate mixture. Whisk in
flour, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Mix in chocolate
chips, if using.

Scrape batter into an even layer on top of the crust.
Top with pretzels and bake until the top is set and firm
to touch, especially in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.

Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely
before cutting into 16 squares.
