Ingredients

Cookie Bar

Topping

  • 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. In resealable food-storage plastic bag, place 1 cup of the pretzels; seal bag, and coarsely crush with rolling pin.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix cookie mix, softened butter, egg and crushed pretzels with spoon until soft dough forms. Stir in butterscotch chips. Spread dough evenly in pan. Break remaining 1 cup pretzel twists in small pieces, and sprinkle on top; press lightly into dough.

    In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds, stirring halfway through, until chips can be stirred smooth. Spoon into resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut small tip from corner of bag; drizzle chocolate over top. Let stand about 1 hour 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in airtight container.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To soften butter, cut in small pieces and leave at room temperature. A faster method is to microwave butter in 5-second intervals, turning butter frequently so it's softened but not melted.
  • tip 2
    The secret for cutting bars easily is to line pan with heavy-duty or nonstick foil. When it is time to cut the bars, just lift baked bar with foil out of pan, and cut. This also makes cleanup extra easy.
