Time 1h15m

Yield makes about 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the pan
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
8 cups puffed chocolate cereal, such as Cocoa Puffs
2 cups crushed pretzels
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon coconut oil

Steps:

Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two short ends. Lightly coat the foil with butter.
Melt the butter in a large pot set over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows melt, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt and then the cereal and pretzels until well mixed. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even layer. Set aside at room temperature until cooled and firm, about 30 minutes.
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a small microwave safe bowl for 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring, until smooth. Drizzle over the bars, cover and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes. Cut into bars.

Categories dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
6 cups puffed chocolate and peanut butter flavored cereal, such as Reese's Puffs
6 cups puffed chocolate and peanut butter flavored cereal, such as Reese's Puffs
2 cups crushed pretzel sticks
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut flakes
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon virgin or extra-virgin coconut oil

Steps:

Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with enough foil so that there's a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Grease the foil with butter.
Melt the butter in a large pot set over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the cereal, pretzels and coconut. Stir with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape up the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and pat down into an even layer (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help). Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a small microwave safe bowl for 30-second increments in the microwave, until smooth. Drizzle over the bars, cover and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes.
Cut into 24 bars. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:

For the best results, use fresh pretzels. Stale pretzels will be more difficult to work with and will not taste as good.
If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to heat it in short intervals, stirring in between, so that the chocolate doesn't burn.
If you want to add some extra flavor to your treats, try sprinkling them with sea salt or crushed peanuts before the chocolate hardens.
These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Chocolate pretzel treats are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover pretzels. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and salty treat that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give chocolate pretzel treats a try.
