Pumpkin Pretzel Bites Recipe

I’m pretty picky about my pumpkin consumption. Generally, my rule is that I stay away from pretty much anything pumpkin that is NOT baked. I think the “fresh” pumpkin flavor is just too overwhelming, and it desperately needs some butter, sugar, and flour to even it out a little bit.

My exceptions to the must-be-baked rule almost entirely include pumpkin treats that have been made with pumpkin FLAVOR (not real pumpkin). Like this pumpkin cream pie made with pumpkin pudding mix– that’s something I can get behind! Or this pumpkin fudge made with pumpkin spice morsels (like chocolate chips).

Or these pumpkin pretzel bites!

With a pretzel on the bottom, a Pumpkin Hershey Kiss, an M&M, and a drizzle of white or dark chocolate these poppable pumpkin bites are pretty irresistible.

I entirely surprised myself by loving those pumpkin Hershey Kisses. Like I said– I’m picky about pumpkin treats. And these just did not look or smell all that appealing. But in the name of research, I tried one. And then another. And then another. And then I was hooked.

Add to that a little salty crunch and an M&M and I never really stood a chance against these little guys.

Another obviously awesome thing about this recipe is that it is SO EASY. And pretty quick too.

You could skip the chocolate drizzle at the end, but I’m going to advise you not to for two reasons:

☝???? I’m sorry to say it, but these kind of look like boobs without the chocolate drizzle on top ????! And I swear, I don’t think it’s that my mind is in the gutter over here ????. You have to admit the pumpkin Kisses are pretty close to flesh colored. And the way they melt in the oven.. well, you’ll see!

And ✌???? Is there anything not made better by a chocolate drizzle? It adds the perfect texture and flavor. I really feel like it balances out the strength of the pumpkin flavor just right.

Enjoy!

I’ve been on a real chocolate and peanut butter kick lately, with three back-to-back Chocolate PB recipes coming your way! Be excited ????.

I like chocolate and peanut butter in all sorts of ways. From the super indulgent recipes like Tagalong Pound Cake, No Bake Peanut Butter Cup Bars, and Peanut Butter Brownie Trifles to healthier recipes like this Super Skinny PB Cup Smoothie or my favorite Peanut Butter Granola.

My favorite way to eat PB will always be in the form of a cookie. Preferably my  Grandma’s Monster Cookies or my mom’s Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies!

Or in any of these 75+ Ways to Eat a Reese’s. Obviously.

Today’s recipe combines three of my great loves: PB + chocolate, pretzels, and no bake.

Side note: the way to my heart is to make something EASY. And these no-bake bars have do that in spades!

We’re basically mashing these Peanut Butter Cup No Bake Bars (have you made them yet??) with two cups of pretzel crumbs.

Speaking of mashing…

You could put your pretzels in a food processor for a rough chop if you want when you’re making this recipe. But I just dumped mine in a gallon-sized zipper bag and beat them with a rolling pin. It worked out just fine (and one less thing I have to clean).

You can see in the photo above that you don’t need to aim for super fine crumbs. The PB mixture will hold the pretzels together perfectly even if there are some bigger chunks. In fact, you may find that you like having big chunks of pretzel bites in there!

See? Easy peasy.

I added some honey roasted peanuts to the top of mine for some additional crunch (and I like the look of it), but that’s totally up to you.

I also think M&MS would be pretty on point if you’re considering additional toppings ????????.
