Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pretzel Stacks

Last Updated on

I just realized that this is the second chocolate-peanut butter combination I’ve made this week. I promise next week will be all about vegetables and fruits and healthy things…maybe.

This is a super simple, no-brainer kind of recipe. I wanted to make a quick snack for the kids and I was craving those chow mein noodle “haystacks” that are such a popular holiday treat. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any in our pantry. So I thought maybe chocolate covered pretzels would be fun. I decided to combine the two and the result was wonderfully salty, sweet and easy! Next time I make these, I think I’m going to try adding lots of other stuff like peanuts and raisins.
