Toss the pretzels in a blender or smash them up until they are crushed as fine as you can get them.
Put crushed pretzels in a bowl, add butter, and mix until they are coated.
Dump pretzels into a brownie pan and evenly press into the bottom of the pan. (You can use parchment paper or foil to cover the bottom of your pan. I highly suggest parchment paper over foil if you decide to go that route.
Mix the brownie mix per the box instructions.
Add chocolate chips
Pour brownie mix on top of the crust and spread out evenly
Drizzle the melted caramel over the top of the brownies in a zigzag motion. I added a lot of caramel. Add a little or a lot; it’s up to you and your taste buds.
Using a butter knife, swirl the caramel into the brownie mix.
Back according to the brownie mix directions or until done.
Remove from oven, allow to cool, and enjoy.
