  5. Spread half of the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing down firmly.
  6. Sprinkle M&Ms, mini M&Ms, and mini chocolate chips over the base layer, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Spread the remaining mixture over the toppings, pressing down evenly.
  8. Top with leftover chopped pretzels, potato chips, M&Ms, and mini chocolate chips, then sprinkle flaky sea salt.
