One\u00a0of my favorite aspects of the holiday season is the abundance of sweet treats. It seems like everywhere you turn someone is offering you a homemade cookie or at the very least, a candy cane. The only problem is, I get\u00a0tired of the same old frosted sugar cookies by mid-December. That\u2019s why I think it\u2019s fun to make some different treats that you won\u2019t see everywhere else. These Coconut Chocolate Pretzel Balls featuring Quaker Old Fashioned Oats<\/a> are a great alternative. Since oats have 100% whole grain, a serving provides a good source of fiber, which is why I love cooking with them.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re easy to make and require no baking! Chocolate and coconut are a classic pairing, the oat base provides a nice chewy texture, and the pretzels and peanut butter add that extra delicious, salty component. They\u2019re sweet, salty, and a great\u00a0poppable treat this season!<\/p>\n
