Remember yesterday when I said I hadn’t thought of anything creative in the kitchen all week?
My creative food juices were just waaaiting and storing up all of of their efforts for these pretzels. Last night after I put Adrienne to bed it struck me…
I have a big bag of pretzels that I won’t eat in the cabinet.
I really liked those saltine toffee things I made a while ago.
I like peanut butter in everything.
SO PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER.
I did and it was just as good as you you are imagining. It’s good for the salty folks out there and it’s good for those of you (me) with a manipulative dictator of sweet tooth residing in your mouth.
Everybody wins.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Toffee Pretzels
PRINT Recipe
- enough mini pretzels to make a double layer on the bottom of a small baking dish (I used a 7×5 inch dish)
- 1/4 C butter
- 1/4 C brown sugar
- 1 T peanut butter
- 1/2 C chocolate chips
1. Make a double layer of pretzels in the bottom of a small foil-lined and non-stick sprayed baking dish.
2. Combine the butter, brown sugar and peanut butter in a small saucepan and whisk until melted together.
3. Pour over the pretzels in the pan and bake at 425 for about 5-6 minutes.
4. Remove from oven, cover with chocolate chips. Let stand 3-4 minutes or until chocolate chips are melty. Then spread them over the pretzels with a spatula. Let cool then break into pieces.


those looks so good, I want to make them for a work party I have coming up!
that looks perfect for an upcoming work party I have!
I love this version with pretzels and peanut butter vs. saltines! Makes me think of the holidays
ooooh, that looks YUM. 3 of my favorite things in one, can’t believe i’ve never thought of it!
Sounds like the munchies to me! YUM!! The only sweets I EVER crave are salty sweet!! I’ll have to give them a whirl. Spring Breaks coming up…maybe a kid project. Thanks for always brightening my day with your posts!
Thanks for your sweet comment – and yes, a very kid-friendly cooking project.
Perfect!!! Total side note but last night I was showing Keith the pictures of Baby A on the rings and he acted just like Meeker! That made me to show him the picture of Adrienne making her new “stinky” face and he about died. We both officially think she is the cutest thing ever!
This looks too good! I never seem to have pretzels I won’t eat–I love to have them with my fruit and cottage cheese!
Funny, I don’t even really like pretzels. Too dry. Too salty. But chocolate on top fixes all that…
Okay, I should say I don’t eat them by themselves ever! If they’re not stirred into my breakfast I eat them with 1) raisins and chocolate chips/M & M’s or 2) marshmallows and chocolate chips/M & M’s.
This always makes me smile
these look SO GOOD! i want to bury my face in a pan of them…
I made something similar around Christmas – sweet, salty, and buttery – can’t go wrong!
Holy frick! I need to be invited to a party immediately so I can make these
Invite me over…make them…and we’ll call it a party.
I’m so excited that you’re mailing me some of these!
Wait, you are mailing me some, right?
You’re not mailing me any.
Only if we can exchange…a shrimp chipotle bowl for some pretzels. Fair and square.
Oh my gosh, Katie… no you didn’t!!! These look amazing. When’s the bake sale, cause I am ordering these suckers
you know what is so good about this? I have GF pretzels in the pantry! whoops almost said panty. hehe.
chocolate + anything = usually YUM . chocolate with leftover pretzel = YUM too apparently
My thighs want to eat these up!
yumm I need to make these! I don’t even like toffee but love chocolate and pretzles and peanut butter so I am sure I will enjoy these!
I love the sweet and salty combo. I never thought I would…that’s until I tried it!
sweet and salty combos are the best!
Oh friend, you are good.
YUM!!!!!
Looks wonderful! Think I can even pull it off with gluten free pretzels!
Pretzels are just not my thing unless covered in chocolate. By themselves….eh, boring. With chocolate…perfect salty + sweet combo. Love these!
Oh my GOSH those sound AMAZING!!! The sweet/salty combo gets me every time..
I’ve made those saltines before and they’re definitely one of my favorite desserts (I have a hard time sharing those)! That combo of salty + chocolate gets me every time.
yesssssssss please
[...] After dinner the boys dropped me off at home alone. The reason my BIL came into town this weekend was to see The Wrath of the Titans with Adam. The plan was for me to stay home and get some work done but instead I took a freezing walk and made Katie’s Chocolate Toffee Pretzels. [...]
ok, so this one has beat your previous record on my pinterest – 38 repins (so far) vs. 30 on the portobello/spinach pesto panini
Love it! we’re making these tomorrow.
[...] On the plus side no one asked me to share my plate of toffee pretzels. [...]
[...] 4. Peanut butter pretzel toffee. [...]
