Decisions, decisions, decisions……
I hate them!
Not only do I hate them, I can not make them for the life of me.
Yeah, I am one of those annoying people.
For example, I just spent way too long trying to narrow down my pictures from thirteen to six. Meaning I actually had to decide which seven to delete and which six to keep. It was awful. I am so indecisive that I actually called my mom and we looked through my photos together over the phone.
Yes, I called my mother to decide which photos to use. Thank you mom. You always save the day.
Oh, but if you don’t like any of these photos? Blame her!
Deciding what to make or better yet what to post, is even worse.
Here’s the thing. I second guess myself WAY too much. Like the thoughts that run through my head would lead you to believe I am insane (I totally am, just ask my brothers). It’s just constant back and forth, back and forth.
Oh, well, eventually, I just say “Fudge Tieghan. Decide Already!” Sometimes I even just sing “eeny meeny miny moe“.
Oh, and yes, if you’re wondering, this is all said (or sung) in my head. Come on people, I am not that crazy!
Sometimes the best thing to finally help me make up my mind is to just…….
GET IN THE KITCHEN!
Then sometimes things just start flowing and I start making a mess. Pretzels get crushed, peanut butter gets whipped out, chocolate gets melted, no-bake peanut butter pretzel dough gets rolled into cute little balls and then flattened.
Then I just say “oh fudge, I did it! I made something edible!”. Then I do a little five second dance (Ok, this dance ONLY happens when I am absolutely sure NO ONE is in the house).
These cookies are the easiest thing ever. Like six ingredients, one bowl, no oven and done in thirty-five minutes! That’s just awesome. Especially since it’s Friday and all you want to do is eat a freaking cookie not spend an hour making them and then an hour cleaning up the mess you made while making then. Plus, pretzels and chocolate are everyone’s favorite ! Right?
I actually got the idea from Malley’s Chocolate. It’s maybe the best chocolate around and it is local to Cleveland, Ohio. Their dark chocolate covered pretzels are the BEST. I was not about to show you how to cover pretzels in chocolate, so I made you peanut butter pretzels cookies! Trust me guys, you are going to fall in love with these seriously delicious, seriously cute, seriously easy cookies!
Ridiculously Easy No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup pretzel crumbs (leave a few bigger pieces, but only a few), plus 20 whole tiny twists
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter, you can use almond butter or any other nut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
- 1/8 cup mini chocolate chips, optional
- melted dark chocolate, for drizzling
Instructions
- Combine the pretzel crumbs (for the most part, try and get the pretzels into small crumbs, but it is ok if there are a few bigger pieces, it adds a little crunch), graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, honey, vanilla and cinnamon in a mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer. Mix together until all the ingredients are combined. If you are using a mixer this goes really fast, just beat until a ball forms. If you are using a spatula the dough will be crumbly just keep mixing until it looks wet enough to stick together (you're going to need to put some muscle into it!). Once the dough is combined fold in the chocolate chips - if using. Form the dough into one inch balls and flatten into a cookie. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a double broiler.
- Top each cookie with one pretzel and then drizzle the dark chocolate over the pretzel "glueing" it to the cookie.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

When it comes to big decisions, I generally do way better than the day-to-day little stuff. Food decisions are the worst! Especially when I’m hungry… Love the photo choices for this post though. And those cookies sound great.
Foods are the worst! Thanks fo reading!

I have the same problem with my pictures.. But I usually want to narrow mine down to 1 -2 pictures for my post. These cookies look wonderful and will be perfect for the cookies I need to make for a bake sale, next week. Pinning them.

Thank you and they are SO simple!
I would never have thought to put the pretzels whole on top of the cookie like that! You are very creative. I just pinned this to my cookie board 🙂 Krista @ http://ahandfulofeverything.blogspot.com
Thank you and thanks so much for pinning!! Hope you give the cookies a try and love them!
I’m a killer for the sweet and salty combo, so these looks absolutely incredible. I love how east they are to make, too! It’s always nice to have a sweet treat you can make without turning on the oven.
The sweet and salty combo is the best and I totally agree that no-bake recipes are always nice to have!
These look delicious! I would love for you to join the Pinworthy Projects link party! http://www.atkinsondrive.com/pinworthy-projects-party-week-14/
Thank you!
Oh yum! Your pictures are wonderful! (All of them) =o)
Ha, thank you!!
I love this recipe. YUM! I hate decisions too. I have to decide how many of these to eat… 😉
These look soooooo good! I hate making decisions too. It’s the worst. I do the same thing with pictures- but normally it is my hubs that has to look and relook at them. The worst is trying to figure out what we are doing on a Friday night! Btw, pinned! (Stopping over from the Pin Me party)
Decisions are awful! LOL Thanks so much for pinning!
I am the same way, HATE making decisions! But I know I could make the right decision to make and eat these!
Decisions stink! i hope you give these a try and LOVE them! Thanks for reading!
I love everything about these! Considering I just made pretzel blondies, and love PB make that, and just made homemade graham crackers…these are 100% my speed! I could clean out my pantry and made them. Gorgeous!
HA! You are right these are totally YOUR kind of cookies! By the way I am in love with those pretzel blondies!
