Sweet and Salty Brownies

I think it was almost two weeks ago that I posted a link that I’d found on the Internet to pretzel brownies. They looked really good but used a mix – which I don’t like to do. I decided to work with the recipe a bit to get it to the point it was exactly what I wanted it to be. Continue reading
