- Slowly beat sugars into peanut butter until well-combined. Add 1 1/2 cup pretzels and beat to combine.

Fabulous! -
The recipe looked great, tried to make it and made a disastrous mess. The peanut butter and butter base was gooey, didn't solidify and was impossible to take out of the pan, let alone eat gracefully or present to any guests. Is there an ingredient missing? What did I do wrong? Thx

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
