How To Make take 5 cheesecake brownies

  • 1
    Combine the pretzels, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350* for 8 minutes. Cool. In a mixing bowl, make the brownie mix according to the 2 egg directions on the back of the box. Stir in the chopped peanuts. Gently spoon the brownie batter over the cooled pretzel crust. Place the peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir until creamy. Drop by spoonfuls onto the brownie batter. Very gently swirl the peanut butter with a knife. Do not go all the way through to the crust. You want to only swirl the top.
