Potlucks are a ton of fun! I love all the laughter and the variety of homemade foods to try. I don’t want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen, but I do want to make a dessert that everyone will eat up. Hi, this is Annie from Venture1105 and these are my favorite easy potluck desserts.
Anyone else have a love/hate relationship with potlucks? I know the struggle so well. I hate taking something that no one eats. It makes me feel really happy when my food is the one that everyone eats up first!

#3 Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzels
The best thing about these pretzels is that you can eat as many or as few as you like. They are also addicting finger food.
If you are taking these to a potluck, make sure and label them as peanut butter bars. That way, if anyone has an allergy they can avoid them.
