Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Nighttime is when I crave sweet and salty. So, I started making brownies and, after cleaning out my pantry, I came up with this yummy creation. They have just about everything you would snack on if you get that sweet and salty craving like myself. Looks like a lot to do, but, actually, it's an easy semi-homemade dessert that doesn't require much work or time. And it's worth it!! Would also be great for a party; just set up a brownie ice cream bar.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Salty and sweet, this brownie sundae is quite the treat! The rich brownie with peanut butter chips mixed in is baked on top of a pretzel crust. Then they're topped with peanut butter and chocolate frosting. Sprinkled on top are potato chips, crushed pretzels, and peanut butter cups. When all the layers are combined, this dessert is peanut butter and chocolate goodness. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for even more richness.
