Recipe Overview
Yield: 9–12 bars • Prep Time: 25 minutes • Chill Time: 4–6 hours
Category: Dessert • Cuisine: American

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

  1. Mix pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the texture resembles damp sand. Press firmly into a 9×9 pan. Freeze while preparing filling.
  2. In a stand mixer, whip the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and brewed Reindeer Tracks coffee until smooth.
  3. Fold in the whipped topping and spread the filling over the chilled crust. Refrigerate 2–4 hours.
  4. Warm heavy cream on the stovetop. Add the brewed coffee and stir.
  5. Pour hot mixture over chocolate chips, cover for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth. Let cool 30 minutes — ganache should thicken.
  6. Spread cooled ganache over the peanut butter layer. Chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
  7. 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).
