There's something pretty magical about chocolate and peanut butter, right? Making these Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites satisfies my love of sweet and salty, too.
I think Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites are perfect for my first post because they embody my favorite things - peanut butter, chocolate, and simplicity. Oh, and sprinkles!
These chocolate-covered waffle pretzels are also no-bake so they come together really quickly. I threw these together in between rounds of singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider with my daughter.
