Addictive pretzels coated in Nutella and powdered sugar that take only 5 minutes to make. The prefect sweet and salty snack!
Last week, when I shared my recipe for sugar candied nuts, I talked about my lack of self-control around snacks. As much as I love those nuts, today’s snack takes my addiction to a whole new level. Just try to imagine dipping pretzels into Nutella – doesn’t it sound heavenly? Will you be able to stop at just one small pretzel? Yep, that’s what I thought. I couldn’t stop, either.
These Nutella pretzel snacks are crunchy, sweet, and salty. They take only 5 minutes to make, but even if they took an hour, they would honestly still be worth it. You’ll only need 3 ingredients – pretzels, Nutella, and powdered sugar. First, you’ll need to mix the pretzels and Nutella together. The Nutella should have a smooth, pourable consistency that is easy to stir, but if needed, microwave for a few seconds (I didn’t need to microwave mine). Stir the mixture gently to prevent the pretzels from breaking, until every pretzel is fully coated. Next, add the powdered sugar and mix until evenly coated. The powdered sugar will make the sticky Nutella mixture dry and easy to snack on. You can add more powdered sugar if it’s still sticky.
Despite all the sugar, this snack doesn’t taste overly sweet. At least, I don’t think it does. 🙂
- 4 cups pretzels
- 2/3 cup Nutella
- 1 cup powdered sugar
-
If Nutella is not soft and easily pourable, place into a medium microwave-safe bowl and heat for 45-60 seconds.
-
Place pretzels in a large bowl. Pour in the Nutella and gently mix (so that the pretzels won’t break) until all pretzels are evenly coated. Add powdered sugar and again mix until evenly coated.
-
Store in an airtight container or plastic zip top bag.
-
Serve immediately or freeze for up to a month and serve chilled.

It sounds a lot like puppy chow. Have you heard of it?
