#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.
