Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups pretzel crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup sugar
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp brewed Reindeer Tracks Coffee
- 6 oz whipped topping, thawed
Mocha Ganache
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup strong brewed Reindeer Tracks Coffee
Method
- Mix pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the texture resembles damp sand. Press firmly into a 9×9 pan. Freeze while preparing filling.
- In a stand mixer, whip the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and brewed Reindeer Tracks coffee until smooth.
- Fold in the whipped topping and spread the filling over the chilled crust. Refrigerate 2–4 hours.
- Warm heavy cream on the stovetop. Add the brewed coffee and stir.
- Pour hot mixture over chocolate chips, cover for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth. Let cool 30 minutes — ganache should thicken.
- Spread cooled ganache over the peanut butter layer. Chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Slice, serve, and watch them disappear.
Tips & Variations
- Top with chopped peanut butter cups for maximum drama.
- Use dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet finish.
- Swap pretzel crust for graham crackers if salty-sweet isn’t your thing (but trust us… it should be).
