Halloween Decorated Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Granola Bars! These are great for snacks, breakfast and Halloween parties! Use black and orange chocolate chip morsels to make them festive looking!
While walking around the Halloween section at Target I came across these festive chocolate morsels. They are Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate and Orange Morsels. I threw them immediately in my buggy, not really knowing what I was going to make with them, but how could I turn them down?
I love Halloween because it means I can wear black and orange every single day. I wore this last week, but I’m going to be honest and tell you that the pumpkin socks stick around for 12 months. There’s no putting away Halloween socks, wear them every single day! You will make someone smile on the subway who’s having a bad day.
We love Granola Bars in our house and some of our favorite treats are the Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Granola Bars and Regular Chocolate Chip Granola Bars. These Granola Bars are super cute, not only because of the black and orange morsels, but because they have some chocolate sprinkles added on top as well. These would be a hit with kids, adults, at parties, or if you’re just like us – enjoy them for dessert.
Hope you enjoy these Granola Bars, but eat them quick or Ghost and Pumpkin are going to swoop in and steal them. 🙂
Halloween Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
PrintIngredients
- 2 cups quick cooking oats
- 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
- 3/4 cup chopped pretzels
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate and Orange Morsels

Instructions
- Spray a 8x8 pan lightly with cooking spray.
- Mix your oats and cereal together in a large bowl.
- Chop your pretzels up and mix with oats and cereal.

- Remove saucepan from burner and stir in your vanilla.
- Pour your hot mixture over your oats mixture. Stir well. You want to make sure every single piece of oats and cereal is coated.
- Pour your mixture into your greased pan and push down with spatula to flatten it.
- Sprinkle chocolate morsels and sprinkles over top evenly. Use spatula or spoon to press them down so they are embedded in the bars.
- Cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator to set for 1 hour.
- Cut into granola bar sizes.
- Enjoy!

Andi @ The Weary Chef says
These sound tasty, and you are adorable. Why does it look like you are floating off the ground in that photo with the balloon? Maybe it was Halloween magic 😉
Speaking of adorable, I love your witch’s costume in your header right now! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the holidays bring!
Pamela says
Thanks Andi! I wish that balloon took me on a magical ride!
Rachel @ Bakerita says

I’m thinking that calling them granola bars might make them legal for breakfast but in reality I would eat these for dessert!
Pamela says
Enjoy all day long! 🙂

Pamela says
Thanks Kiran!

Hi Pamela! Wanted to let you know that I tried these and they were DELISH! Made a few adaptations based on what I had in my kitchen, and they turned out great. Shared them on my blog today (as you can probably guess, I was anxious to try them!) Sort of wishing I had thought to pack one in my lunch today : )
Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Pamela says
Hey Jamie, yours look amazing! Let’s share with each other. 🙂
Koko says
These look to dieeee for!! I think I celebrate Halloween all year, too- costume party? I go ALL out…I love dressing up! Also almost my entire wardrobe is made up of Drop Dead Clothing which is quite Halloween appropriate with all their cartoony melting-brain designs!
Pamela says
It’s the best! I wish all year was Halloween for everyone! 🙂
Sophie says
Waw, Pamela!!! Your bars look amazing with those orange & chocolates chips on top of each bar,….we can’ t get these orange chips over here,…What else could I use?
Pamela says
How about candy corn Sophie? Or any type of orange candy would work!
Stacy | Wicked Good Kitchen says
LOVE this post, Pamela! Glad you added those festive chips to your granola bars. I, too, just adore everything Halloween. Dig that fuzzy pumpkin and that little ghosty! I would be smiling in total delirium over that balloon, too. Love the fangs on that bat balloon. Oh my goodness…I love your Halloween header on the blog as well! (You put me to shame. I think I need Samantha Stephens flying by on her broom, a black cat with a curly tail and a bubbling cauldron or something like that on my header for Halloween.) Thanks for sharing, girl! Have a fun Halloween-y week!
Pamela says
So glad to see you here Stacy. I love the idea of your header, it’s so much fun to decorate for Halloween.. I just can’t help it! Have a good one!
Lori @ Foxes Love Lemons says

I love making granola bars at home and I love how festive these are for Halloween! So fun! I can’t resist buying new Halloween sprinkles each year – they just suck me in I tell you!
