Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a food processor, pulse the pretzels into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.

In a medium bowl, mix the pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 6

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of heavy cream in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

Step 8

Add in the melted chocolate mixture and continue beating until well combined.

Step 9

Fold in the whipped topping gently until no streaks remain.

Step 10

Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
