If you love sweet and salty combo as much as I do, you will be really satisfied with these yummy bites. Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites are so delicious, but also really simple to make. It’s no bake recipe with just a few simple ingredients.

Actually, you don’t need the oven, but you don’t need the mixer, too! Just stir all ingredients together, chill, roll the balls, melt some chocolate and dip them. Wait the chocolate cover to set and ENJOY!!! And you will enjoy for sure!
