Easy Crunchy Pretzel No Bake Granola Bites drizzled with chocolate. Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a sweet tooth. But I also have a healthy tooth and I do love to find ways to sneak chocolate into healthy foods, and vice versa.
This is a paid collaboration with Mars and M&Ms.
I was recently asked to devise a no-bake recipe that combines two of my favourite ingredients, oats and chocolate, specifically the delicious new M&Ms Crunchy Caramel bar. What better treat to make with oats than my M&M Easy Crunchy Pretzel No-Bake Granola Bites? And just to counterbalance the sweetness of the caramel chocolate, how about some salted pretzels stirred in?
This recipe is so easy and quick that anybody can whip up a batch in just a few minutes…you just have to be a little patient for them to set up in the fridge and then you can get messy with the fun part: decorating with the melted M&Ms Crunchy Caramel Bar!
Of course, you can adjust the ingredients as you like: add some raisins, or chocolate chips or crushed peanut M&Ms, just make sure that you keep the ratios the same.
If you want to make me M&M Easy Crunchy Pretzel No-Bake Granola Bites at home, the recipe is really simple, and uses pantry staples.
