How to Make No Bake Butterscotch Pretzel Treats
- Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the foil with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in 2 cups crushed pretzels until evenly distributed.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a heavy medium saucepan, combine 12 ounces butterscotch chips and 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butterscotch chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Carefully pour the melted butterscotch mixture over the pretzel crust in the pan and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup crushed pretzels and 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional).
- Gently press the toppings into the butterscotch layer.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Once chilled, lift the treats out of the pan using the foil overhang, cut into bars, and serve.
