Sweet and salty combined makes these Pretzel Peanut Butter Balls the perfect treat!
When my hubby was out of town I decided to pull out the peanut butter and make some treats! He does not enjoy peanut butter so I really don’t bake or make treats with it too often. When I made these I thought I would mix it up a bit and add some pretzels! I loved the added crunch to these! I was worried that after I refrigerated them the pretzel would soften up a bit, but after 3 days in the refrigerator the pretzel was still crunchy! If you would like a step by step instruction on how to make this, click on over to my original peanut butter balls post! I give visuals, which sometimes helps me a lot when baking or cooking! ENJOY!

What is with our husband’s not liking the peanut butter goodness? I guess that means more for you and me right? 🙂

So funny what we do when the hubby is away! Makes me laugh… because, I always get excited to make the foods for dinner that he doesn’t like. But, I’m all over these pb action. And, my hubs would definitely eat a whole lot of them, too! Pinning and planning on making soon… wish I had one right now!

My husband doesn’t like pb in desserts but I am working on converting him 🙂 These sound wonderful! I love dipping pretzels in pb and chocolate!

Are the pretzels used only as garnish? None in the ball right?
Nancy P.
The pretzels actually go in the with the peanut butter, I went back and clarified it! Thanks so much!
