Whatever, you guys.
Put away the shocked faces, the indignant glares, and the righteous anger.
First of all, I made these Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rice Krispies Treats back in December, when it was still perfectly acceptable to eat chocolate 24 hours a day.
Second of all, this is, like, my job. I’m supposed to make you question your New Year’s Resolutions.
And, third, I put chocolate covered pretzels in rice krispie treats. I really don’t care if you’re on a diet. These are worth the extra calories and/or exercise!
I’ll do my best to come back with some healthier dinner options in the coming weeks, but you’re just going to have to deal with the chocolate sugar carb fest that is my usual existence right alongside the healthy stuff. It’s who I am, it’s what I do, it’s what makes me smile.
Deal?
Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rice Krispies Treats
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 10 ounces marshmallows

- 12 ounces milk chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the marshmallows, stirring constantly, until fully melted.
- Remove from the heat and continue stirring for one minute, to cool the mixture a bit. Add in the cereal and pretzels and stir to coat.
- Press into a greased or lined 9x13 baking dish.
- Immediately top with the chocolate chips and place in a 250 degree oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and spread the chocolate chips over the top to coat.

I’m not sure if I hate you or if I’m ready to leave my family behind and marry you. I have 19 more days of a cleanse and then I am devouring every last pretzely marshmallowy bite. Aaaaaaa

Diane says
I must not get out much because I’ve never heard of chocolate covered pretzels. Do I buy them or make them? Would love to try this recipe!
Karly says
You can buy them or make your own! If you choose to make your own, just dip them in the chocolate candy melts.

Girl, I’m all for moderation. And moderation includes these babies.
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
Deal. High 5s all around. If I eat these and nothing else…that’s diet food right?
Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl says
Anything with rice krispie in the title is alright by me. Add chocolate and pretzels and it’s even better! 🙂
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
A great RKTreat is worth it’s weight in gold – and doused in chocolate and chocolate covered pretzels, even better!
Jennifer @ Mother Thyme says
Such a clever twist on rice krispies treats. I would love to have one of these as a treat diet or not. 🙂

The great thing about healthy eating is that you can do everything in moderation. I would happily spend my “sweet treat” allotment on these salty sweet treats.
