Peanut Butter Pretzel Toffee Bites (and Ketchup With That turns 3!)

Ketchup With That is three years old today, and I’m celebrating with Peanut Butter Pretzel Toffee Bites.

These no-bake bites are easy to prepare and make a great holiday gift from the kitchen.

When I first started this blog with a recipe for Last Minute Honey Ginger Fruitcake, I felt like a person crashing a party where everyone else seemed to know each other and had better hair and nicer shoes.

Three years in, I have to admit I still feel a bit like that sometimes (well, most of the time to be honest, and not just on the blog)!

But showing up is half the battle, and here I am three years and 228 posts later.

I’ve got lots of plans for 2017, and am looking forward to sharing them with you :). I hope you stay tuned in for the New Year!

And for those of you who like lists, here are the top five recipes from the past three years:

1. Simple Olive Oil Tea Biscuits 
2. Onion Fritters
3. Honey Sriracha Tofu
4. Hoisin Tofu
5. Tart and Tangy Rhubarb Barbecue Sauce

Peanut Butter Pretzel Toffee Bites

Prep Time

20 mins

Total Time

20 mins

 

This recipe makes about 5 dozen bites, but you can halve it if you don't need such a large amount. The finished bites are soft at room temperature, but will hold their shape. If you prefer them firmer, you can refrigerate them and serve them cold.

Servings: 5 dozen (1-1/2 inch / 3.75 cm) bites
