I've been making no bake cookies since I was a little girl. They have always been one of my favorite cookies. I remember making them all of the time during the holidays or during the hot summer months. If it was too hot to turn on the oven, we would make no bake cookies! The only problem, they never last long because they are SO good!

Well, I just made the traditional no bake cookies better by adding pretzels and sea salt. Yep, these No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies are almost too good to be true.

Bit of Salt with Lots of Sweet

No Bake Cookies Worth every Bite
These chocolate no bake cookies only take about 15 minutes to make, plus some time for the cookies to set up. But who waits for no bake cookies to set up? Not me! The best part is licking the pan clean and grabbing big blobs of cookies from the wax paper….even if they aren't set up. I can never stop myself.
You can make the cookies gluten-free by using gluten-free oats and gluten-free pretzels.
