NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL BARS

Please See Other Recipes

It may be cold outside right now, but I feel like you can never go wrong with an easy no-bake dessert.  In fact, I actually made these bars for Christmas last year and couldn’t get over how good they were so I had to share them with you.  These are similar to other no-bake peanut butter bars, except they have crushed pretzels in them instead of graham crackers.
These bars really are the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and really hard to resist.  Trust me on that one.
You’ll start by mixing together some melted butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and crushed pretzels.  Just a little note on the pretzels, make sure to measure them after you’ve crushed them up.  I prefer to use my food processor to crush the pretzels, but you can crush them in a plastic bag too.  You should have mostly smaller pieces, but a few bigger pieces are fine in these bars.  Once you mix up the filling it will seem soft at first, this is okay!  Once the bars are refrigerated they will firm up and hold their shape well, even at room temperature.
