No Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars

Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars.

Sometimes the best treats are the most simple and so easy…like these no bake chocolate peanut butter pretzel bars. Seriously just 5 ingredients and 15 minutes and you have PB chocolate heaven. Probably the hardest part is waiting for the chocolate to set for an hour in the fridge. We have made these a few times in the last few weeks, because they are so easy.

What to make with leftover pretzels?

I over bought in the pretzel category for our quarantine snacks and it turns out my family doesn’t eat pretzels…unless they are blended up to make these fantastic peanut butter pretzel bars.

Ingredients:

• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups crushed pretzel rods or twists
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter, divided
• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

How to make No Bake Peanut Butter Bars:

1. Line a 8×8 pan with parchment paper so that the paper goes up the sides.
2. Blend the pretzels until crushed or finely crushed (your preference).
3. Add melted butter, pretzels, powdered sugar and 1 cup peanut butter to a large bowl and mix with a rubber spatula to combine.
4. Press firmly into the prepared pan. This is easily done with a piece of parchment paper in-between your hands and the bottom layers of these bars.
5. Place chocolate chips and the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on high for 30 second increments stirring in between each, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Pour this over the bars and spread evenly with a spatula.
6. Chill for 1 hour or longer to set.
7. Slice into bars. Keep covered and store in the fridge.

Variations:

• swap the pretzels for ritz crackers
• swap the pretzels for oats
• swap the pretzels for graham crackers
• swap the powdered sugar for maple syrup for a healthier alternative
• swap semi sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate chips
• make this recipe in a 9×13 pan for more thin bars.
