Okay ladies (and gents), let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that’s been keeping me sane during those late-night work sessions! Trust me, once you try these Sweet & Salty Pretzel Peanut Butter Bites, you’ll never go back to boring old chips again.
This recipe is literally a game-changer and takes less than 10 minutes to whip up. Perfect for when those midnight cravings hit or when you need a pick-me-up during your work-from-home hustle!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– Mini pretzels (the square ones work best, but any will do)
– Creamy peanut butter
– Dark chocolate chips (milk chocolate works too, I won’t judge!)
– Sea salt
– A dash of honey
– Optional: crushed nuts for topping
Now, let’s get to the good stuff!
1. Lay out those pretzels on a plate or baking sheet. I usually do about 12-15 at a time because, let’s be real, once you start, you can’t stop!
1. Mix 1/2 cup of peanut butter with 1 tablespoon of honey in a bowl. Pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds until it’s slightly melty and easier to work with.
1. Dollop that peanutty goodness onto each pretzel. Pro tip: Use a small spoon or piping bag if you’re feeling fancy (I usually just wing it with a spoon because who has time for perfection at midnight? 😉)

1. Drizzle that melted chocolate over your peanut butter pretzels like you’re Jackson Pollock creating a masterpiece.
1. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt and crushed nuts if you’re using them.
1. Pop these babies in the fridge for about 5 minutes until the chocolate sets.
And voilà! You’ve got yourself the most addictive sweet and salty snack that’ll have you reaching for more. These are perfect for those late-night Netflix binges or when you’re pulling an all-nighter to meet that deadline (we’ve all been there!).
