Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Crush pretzels into small pieces using a food processor.
In a medium bowl, add crushed pretzels, vanilla, brown sugar, and flour; stir until combined.
Melt butter; add to the pretzel mixture; stir until combined. Spread and press the mixture into a 9×13 baking dish, in an even, smooth layer, reserving 1/2 c. for the topping.
