Category: Bars

1 1/2 cups finely crushed thin pretzels or pretzel sticks
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 (4 oz) pkg Unsweetened Chocolate Baking Bar, broken into pieces
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup Sweetened Coconut Flakes
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 (4 oz) pkg Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Bar, broken into pieces
1 tbsp shortening (do not use butter, margarine, spread or oil)

Heat oven to 350. Combine pretzels and melted butter in small bowl; press evenly into bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.

Place sweetened condensed milk and unsweetened chocolate in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until mixture is melted and smooth when stirred. Carefully pour over pretzel layer in pan. Top with marshmallows, coconut and pecans; press firmly down onto chocolate layer.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned; cool completely in pan on wire rack.

Melt semi-sweet chocolate and shortening in small microwave-safe bowl at MEDIUM (50%) 1 minute or until melted when stirred; drizzle over entire top. Cut into bars. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until glaze is set. About 36 bars.
