Description

These Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese Pretzel Bites are crunchy, creamy, sweet, salty, and just a little spicy. They come together in only 10 minutes with pretzels, softened cream cheese, pepper jelly, chopped pecans, and fresh green onions. They are perfect for holidays, potlucks, game day, snack boards, family gatherings, or any quick no-cook appetizer tray.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 pretzel crisps or mini pretzel twists
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pepper jelly, red or green
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
  • Optional: extra pepper jelly for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pretzels:
    Arrange the pretzel crisps or mini pretzels on a serving platter in a single layer.
  2. Add the cream cheese:
    Spoon or pipe a small amount of softened cream cheese onto each pretzel.
  3. Top with pepper jelly:
    Add about 1/2 teaspoon of pepper jelly over the cream cheese.
  4. Add crunch:
    Sprinkle each bite with chopped pecans for a nutty, crunchy finish.
  5. Garnish:
    Add a few sliced green onions or a little chopped parsley for color.
  6. Serve right away:
    Serve immediately so the pretzels stay crisp, crunchy, and fresh.

Notes

  1. This recipe is completely no-cook, which makes it perfect when you need a fast appetizer for unexpected guests or a last-minute party tray.
  2. Pretzels can soften if they sit too long with cream cheese on top, so assemble them close to serving time for the best crunch.
  3. Softened cream cheese is easier to spoon or pipe. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before assembling.
  4. Pretzel crisps work especially well because they have a flat surface, but mini pretzel twists also look cute and taste delicious.
