Salty pretzels coated in a sweet chocolatey coating with peanut butter – life really doesn’t get any better.
—
Who loves chocolate? How about peanut butter? Now, who likes chocolate with peanut butter? I know I raised my hand to all three!
I’m excited to share with you a snack that I have been eating nonstop for the last three weeks – puppy chow pretzels. Puppy chow is traditionally crispy rice cereal squares mixed with creamy peanut butter and melted chocolate all tossed in powdered sugar. Swap out the crispy rice cereal squares with salty pretzels and you’ve got yourself a sweet and salty snack.
When you read through the recipe, I tried my best to include specific amounts. But I mostly eyeball the ingredients especially the powdered sugar. Have fun with the recipe and play around with all types of pretzels – square, twist, sticks, circles, etc.
