Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels

These are a family favorite treat and they are so fun and easy to make! Plus they only require a handful of ingredients.

They are perfect for celebrations and holiday parties (just switch out the color of sprinkles to match the event). And they also make a great on the go-snack or pack along lunch treat.

And their flavor is 100% irresistible! That nutty peanut butter, salty pretzel, rich and sweet chocolate combo was meant to be together.

Plus the blend of textures is completely satisfying too. Crisp pretzel, creamy peanut butter filling, soft smooth chocolate and a lightly crunchy sprinkle finish.

Some much to love about such a tiny tempting little bite size treat! You'll be making these over and over again!

Homemade Chex Mix

Who doesn't love Chex Mix? A snack that goes way back when, and always a fun one around the holidays.

For years I had just been buying Chex Mix at the store but this year I figured it was due time to try making it at home. And now I'm hooked because this fresher, buttery version is just that much better!

I've listed three common options to cook it. My personal favorite is the oven method but all work well.

With the slow cooker you just have to be available to stir every so often which can be a bit tedious in my opinion, and the microwave works fine but I think the perfectly crisp texture of the oven option wins.

Here we use a homemade seasoned salt blend (including salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and sugar). The great thing about that is that you can have more control over amount of salt, and you can switch it up (using other spices or adjusting those listed here).

It's a versatile recipe with so many options. Or just stick with the classic because you can't go wrong with it as is!

Christmas Crunch Popcorn - the Easiest Christmas Treat!

This is one of those easy treats that’s likely to become a yearly holiday tradition. Not only is this Christmas popcorn a breeze to make but people of all ages love it! It’s so good it's hard to know when to stop eating it!

You only need 5 ingredients and a very basic kitchen know-how for this one. Plus it’s one of those things the kids will love to help with, they can add all the sprinkles.

I like to divide them into treat bags tied with a ribbon and gift tag and take them around for Christmas treats. And now one needs to know how simple it was.

Easiest Chocolate Pretzels!

It's been six years since I first shared these so I thought in case you've missed them I better re-share them. Every year at Christmas these easy treats are always one of the most popular things on my blog!

We love to make these fun chocolates when the holidays roll around because they are they’re amazingly simple, so fun and festive, and so addictive!

Who can resist that sweet and lightly salty combo? And you just can't go wrong with chocolate. Ever.

And thanks to the Hugs you get both white and milk chocolate in these (since their centers are filled).

Holiday treats don't get any easier than this! They are perfect for gifting and it's a treat everyone will love.

Perfect Holiday Sugar Cookies

Like I mentioned in an earlier post about these, these Sugar Cookies would definitely make the cut for my list of top 5 favorite Christmas cookies!

I just love everything about them.

I love their perfectly soft and tender crumb - thanks to the cornstarch and sour cream.

I love their flavor - which is a buttery cookie with hints of depth thanks to the sour cream, then the almond and vanilla extract add some decadence.

I love their sweet and creamy vanilla frosting.

And obviously I'm loving their cute and festive look. They're just too fun.

Caramel Corn Snack Mix

If your family are basketball fans then this is most definitely the perfect treat to make to munch on during the game, no other snacks will matter. And for me I'm already planning on making it again for an upcoming road trip.

Everyone of us absolutely loved this caramel popcorn! And I loved how easy it was to make. You just boil together a few ingredients then toss it over the mix of popcorn, cereal, pretzels and pecans and bake it in the oven for 30 minutes. It's probably a bad thing it's so easy to make because it's just so dangerously good!

For this recipe I used pecans. They're a healthy snack or a great addition to your favorite baking and dinner recipes. They are even delicious in chicken salad too. Now what are you waiting for?? Head to the store if you don't already have the ingredients for this recipe and get cookin!

Pretzel Turtles, the Easiest Treat!

Where have these tasty Pretzel Turtles been all my life? This is one of those easy treats that I've seen for years yet I've never actually tried them it until now.

I was totally missing out because these seriously easy treats are so good!

My 5 year old loved to help me make these and we both loved that they were ready so quickly.

And I actually love melty chocolate so I may or may not have eaten a few before they chilled and set. There's just something so irresistible about melted chocolate.

Really this is one of those things you don't really need a recipe for, it's more to share the idea with you in case you've been missing out on it.

Because maybe you're like me and you've been seeing them for years but for one reason or another you just always forget to make them, so I'm here to tell you do it!

And then quickly rush them off to neighbors and friends before you've polished off half the batch and then suddenly realized what you've done :).

Chocolate is just one of those thing that gets us all isn't it? Especially after a long day, or a bad day, or a hectic day, or a rainy day, or a Monday, or yeah, just any day.

It's chocolate! And it has magical powers.

So just imagine tasting it now - a crisp, salty pretzel topped with decadent chocolate that's filled with sweet soft caramel and finish it off with a crunchy pecan for a pop of nutty goodness.

Mmm mmm mmm. And they are just so perfectly mini and pop-able. I love holiday treats like these!

Rice Krispie Treats in Fun Pumpkin Shapes

No matter how old you are rice krispie treats never get old! I still make them all the time for a quick treat and I’ll never get sick of them.

Here I’ve made them into a fall-inspired treat that both young and old alike will love! Whenever I take them to a Halloween party or Thanksgiving dinner they disappear in no time (ugh and I can never stop at just one).

I’ve mentioned in the recipe if you are making them for adults I’d use the marshmallow fondant, then for kids use the green airheads as pictured.

Peanut Butter Pretzel Rice Krispie Treats! Aren't Rice Krispie Treats one of the greatest treats of all time?  Indeed they are, and their possibilities for alternate variations are endless.  I have so much fun creating new flavors of Rice Krispie Treats because it's so simple to do and they are always incredibly easy to make, not to mention how quickly you can be enjoying a flawlessly delicious dessert in no time.

Peanut Butter Pretzel Rice Krispie Treats

These treats are perfect for snacking or dessert and even fancy enough for parties.  It's always a delight for people to enjoy a new twist on one of their favorite treats.  Can you ever go wrong adding peanut butter to treats and desserts?

Then, you add in even more flavor with the slightly salted pretzels, smooth, rich chocolate, and a hint of pure vanilla.  These are an exciting party for your mouth.

They are everything I'd imagine a gourmet candy bar to be. Sometimes the standard Rice Krispie Treat is a little too sweet, so adding more sophisticated flavors like peanut butter and pretzel make it a more complex and interesting dessert. WARNING: Highly addictive.
