Method
 

Build Salted Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookie Snickers Bars. Step by Step
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the salted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Step 4: Pour the cookie dough into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Allow the cookie base to cool completely in the pan.
  5. Step 5: In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramels and heavy cream. Heat gently until melted and smooth, stirring frequently. Pour the caramel over the cooled cookie base, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts over the caramel layer, followed by the pretzel twists. Gently press them into the caramel to ensure they stick.
  7. Step 7: In a clean bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth. Stir until fully melted and combined.
  8. Step 8: Pour the melted chocolate over the pretzel layer, spreading it gently to cover everything. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature until the chocolate sets.
  9. Step 9: Once the chocolate has set, lift the bars out of the baking dish using the parchment paper edges. Slice into squares or rectangles. Enjoy your Salted Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookie Snickers Bars!
