To make this easy snack dessert happen, all you need is pretzels and Reese’s Miniatures.

For these kinds of treats, I usually use Pretzel Snaps, but traditional Pretzel Twists also work just fine.
You decide!
How to Make these Reese’s Peanut Butter Pretzel Snacks
While your oven is heating up to 300°F, begin laying your pretzels out on a baking sheet.
For baking treats, we love these MADE IN THE USA Baking Half-Sheets by OXO and these non-stick baking mats by Amazon.
Now it’s time to begin unwrapping your Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and placing them atop the pretzels – one chocolate peanut butter cup per pretzel snap.
I prefer to place mine upside down on the pretzel.
Would your kids or grandkids like to assist with this recipe?
Allow them to help:
- place the pretzels on the baking sheet
- unwrap the candies
- place the Reese’s cups on the pretzels
Now it’s time to pop your baking sheet in the oven.
You’re going to put them in there to heat for approximately 5 minutes.
Ovens can very, so watch those chocolate peanut butter cups closely to make sure the chocolate isn’t melting too much.
You want them to melt just enough that when you remove them from the oven, you can lightly press another pretzel snap on top.
Don’t worry!
These are going to cool perfectly and taste delicious.
Need your treats to cool quickly?
Pop your baking sheet in the fridge or freezer. (Just make sure the metal has cooled a bit before do this.)
Not in a rush?
Just leave your baking sheet out on the countertop, and your treats will firm up with no problem.
These make a fun afternoon snack for the kids, an easy food gift to package up for the neighbors at the holidays, or a great treat to set out at a gathering.
We hope you enjoy this easy-to-make snack!
I almost called it a Christmas snack, but honestly, it’s perfect for any time of year.
To be honest, we’ve probably made these most often in the fall.
