This is going to seem like a strange order of operations but its so that we can use the same food processor and not have to wash it between steps!)

Add the peanut butter caramel ingredients to a large food processor. Pulse a few times to allow the ingredients to settle and then process for 30 seconds - 1 minute until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed.

Remove the peanut butter caramel from the food processor and set aside in a bowl.

Without cleaning the food processor, add the crust ingredients and pulse until a dense sandy mixture forms and there are no large pretzel chunks.

Pour the crust mixture into the bottom of a parchment-lined 9”x5” loaf pan, gently spread out until an even layer forms.

Firmly tamp the crust down. Add the peanut butter caramel on top, spreading into an even layer. Top with melted chocolate, tilting the pan to distribute the chocolate evenly. Top with crushed pretzels.

Place in the refrigerator to harden for 1 hour. Remove from the refrigerator, top with flaky sea salt, and slice into bars. Enjoy!
