No Bake PB Pretzel Bars www.bellalimento.com

If you’re a fan of sweet and salty then you’re going to love these no bake peanut butter pretzel bar treats. These are easy enough to whip up in about 30 minutes – you know in case you’re craving something besides a cookie OR if you’re still looking for last minute holiday gifts (tell me I’m not the only last minute girl), home-made treats are the way to go.  Either way they won’t last long. There are only a few simple ingredients that you probably have in your pantry AND they’re easy enough that the kids can make these themselves with just a little help from the microwave. No bake remember!

The main ingredient is of course peanut butter. I used Planter’s peanut butter that we picked up at Target. I’m at Target just about every other day. I should have it listed as much second home. I honestly should have a VIP shopper’s parking space I’m there that much (wink wink). It’s one of my happy places. I love that I can pick up everything from my groceries to make-up to my favorite black long sleeved t-shirts on the planet and YES everything else in between. I also love that I can save money using their red card in addition to finding great coupons. I even have them texted to my mobile. We’re like bff’s texting and all.

Plus, Kraft is offering up to $20 in coupons, redeemable exclusively at Target, to make food shopping easier and to help you have a happy holiday season.
