One of our favorite snacks around here are peanut butter pretzels.  Whenever we go to Costco we pick up a large container.  When Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures announced that we were going to be celebrating pretzels today I knew that I wanted to incorporate them into a recipe.

This recipe was adapted from one found at Taste of Home.  It is no bake, easy to make and absolutely delicious.  

Fair warning, this recipe makes a lot of bars.  This is a problem, at least for me, because they are so good I can't stop eating them.  I ended up cutting half of the pan up and placed them in the refrigerator for us to snack on and froze the other half.

This is a great recipe to have your kids make during their quarantine.  I was saddened that my little sous chef couldn't be with me for this one.
