Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
In a food processor, blend 3 cups pretzels and 3 tablespoons sugar until fine.
Add 3/4 cup melted butter and pulse a few times until blended. Press pretzel crust into the bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish. Set aside.
Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt shortening, 1/2 cup sugar and water over low heat. Blend until sugar dissolves.
Add white chocolate chips and stir until blended and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
Add egg whites and vanilla, beating to combine. Slowly incorporate dry ingredients until fully blended. Do not over mix.
Pour white chocolate brownie batter over pretzel crust, spreading to even.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test. Remove and allow to cool.
After brownies have cooled, drizzle with caramel sauce, sprinkle generously with fleur de sel and top with a whole pretzel.

*You can use regular vanilla extract, the white brownies will just be a little darker.
