Butter Pecan Pretzel Bars – sweet and salty comes together in a super easy dessert! Gooey caramel, pecans, and pretzels makes it extra delicious.
Cookie baking season is here! Are you ready? Thanksgiving is over and it is time for all things cookies, baking and sweets.
I am excited to partner with Pillsbury again this year for part of the Cookie Countdown! Pillsbury is counting down to Christmas in the most delicious way possible – with cookies! Freshly baked cookies that is. Last year I made Salted Caramel Crumble Bars.
Check out the Cookie Countdown page to see a new recipe revealed daily. Or you can have them delivered straight to your inbox. Trust me, you are going to want be on this list.
Today I am making these Butter Pecan Pretzel Bars which is the recipe that was sent to my inbox for today. Just 6 ingredients, so you can make them even on your super busy days. They will make the perfect addition to your holiday cookie tray, or are great to serve at your party.
The base of these bars is Pillsbury™ chocolate chip cookie dough. You just have to mix some pecans into the premade dough so they bake up perfectly every time.
Sweet and salty are always a hit together. Here you have the sweet buttery cookie base, topped with gooey melted caramel. And then crushed pretzels and a pinch of salt are added for that salted caramel flavor. It’s the best of both worlds! Not too sweet and not too salty; plus, they are both gooey and crunchy! If you love butter pecan you will love these low carb cookies too!
I have subscribed to the cookie countdown email for a few years now, I am so excited that I get to be a part of it again this year!! So go sign up, it is a super fun email to get in your inbox this time of year!
The holidays are a busy time of year for everyone. Having new cookie recipes just showing up in your in box every day, makes celebrating the season so much easier. Plus they are all super easy to make, so you can whip up cookies even at the last minute for that party you forgot about.
