Gift Giving Peanut and Chocolate Pretzel Rods Peanut and Chocolate Pretzel Rods by admin November 18, 2025 204 “My Dad loved making chocolate covered pretzels every Christmas season. I can remember him sitting at our kitchen counter dipping pretzels while my Mom and I made cookies. We baked a lot of cookies to share with family and friends, and my favorite cookie was always peanut butter. I combined these two holiday memories to create my Peanut and Chocolate Pretzel Rods recipe. I wish my parents were still around to enjoy this holiday treat, but in the spirit of the season, I will be sharing my homemade treats with friends and family.” – Suzy, Georgia Peanut and Chocolate Pretzel Rods Print Recipe Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat Rating: 4.3/5 ( 4 voted ) Ingredients 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ½ cup creamy peanut butter 12 oz. bag pretzel rods 1 cup (approx.) dry roasted peanuts, chopped Instructions 1.
