_Sips coffee_ Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the most heavenly, mouth-watering snack that’ll make your afternoon slump disappear faster than your ex’s texts – my famous Sweet and Salty Pretzel Peanut Butter Bites!
Trust me, honey, once you try these bad boys, you’ll be wondering where they’ve been all your life. They’re the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and absolutely satisfying. Plus, they’re so easy to make, you could practically do it with your eyes closed (but please don’t, safety first! 😉).
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 cup mini pretzels
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1 cup rice crispy cereal
– 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
– Sea salt for sprinkling
Now, let’s get our hands dirty (metaphorically, of course – we’re keeping it clean in this kitchen!):
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, and heat for another 15 seconds if needed. The mixture should be smooth and warm, just like your favorite rom-com ending.
1. Crush those pretzels into small pieces – this is perfect for releasing any work stress, if you know what I mean! 😅
1. Add the crushed pretzels and rice crispy cereal to your peanut butter mixture. Fold everything together gently.

1. Once everything is mixed, fold in those mini chocolate chips. Pro tip: if your mixture is still too warm, let it cool for a few minutes, or those chocolate chips will melt faster than your makeup on a hot summer day!
1. Using your hands (or a small cookie scoop if you’re fancy), form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
1. Sprinkle with sea salt and pop them in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
And voilà! You’ve got yourself the perfect afternoon pick-me-up that’s both satisfying and Instagram-worthy. These little bites of heaven will stay fresh in an airtight container in your fridge for up to a week – if they last that long!
