Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup peanut butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups pretzel pieces
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

  3. Fold in the pretzel pieces until evenly distributed.
  4. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
