- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- 1/4 tsp salt

Cooking Tips:

- Use a food processor to crush the pretzels into small pieces.
- Make sure the butter is completely melted before mixing it with the pretzels and sugar.

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
4. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
5. Remove the cream from the heat and add the semisweet and milk chocolate chips, butter, and salt. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
6. Pour the chocolate mixture over the pretzel crust and spread it evenly.
7. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set.
8. Cut the bars into squares and serve.
