A quick, no-bake Halloween treat featuring a crunchy pretzel and peanut butter base topped with melted chocolate, Reese’s Pieces, and festive sprinkles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed pretzel rods or twists
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif, Skippy, or natural)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
  • 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces
  • 23 tablespoons orange and black Halloween sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Crush pretzels into bite-sized pieces using a rolling pin inside a zip-top bag.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fluid.
  4. Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the crushed pretzels and stir until fully coated.
  5. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into a thin, even layer, pressing down firmly.
  6. In a clean microwave-safe bowl, melt mini chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Drizzle melted chocolate over the pretzel base and spread evenly.
  8. Immediately sprinkle Reese’s Pieces and Halloween sprinkles over the wet chocolate.
  9. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until the chocolate is completely hard.
  10. Lift off the parchment paper and break into irregular shards.

Notes

Ensure the layer is thin for crispiness. Do not overheat peanut butter to avoid separation. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months.
