Peanut Butter Pretzel Milkshake
We love milkshakes and this Peanut Butter Pretzel Milkshake is the perfect salty/sweet treat..and can be whipped up in just minutes!
I am so happy to tell you that I am participating in “Milkshake Week” this week!!!
I KNOW!!
Here’s the details: Julie and Lindsay, who happen to be some of my most favorite people, decided to throw together a fun filled week to celebrate drinkable ice cream.
Seriously inspired idea, ladies.
Anyhow, I decided to play along, because who doesn’t like milkshakes?
ANNND since I am all about the salty/sweet combo I decided to mix some pretzels all up in my milkshake.
I was really wanting to figure out a way to make this a french fry milkshake…but I was afraid crushed up french fries would make mashed potatoes… and yeah, a mashed potato milkshake sounds pretty gnarly.
So I settled on pretzels. And peanut butter.
You’re welcome.
This couldn’t be easier…just crush up some pretzels…
And grab some peanut butter…
I squirted a little chocolate sauce on the inside of my glass. Just cause.
Also squirted is a horrible horrible word.
Mix up some vanilla ice cream with the pretzels and peanut butter and you’re good to go!
Top it with a little whipped cream and some more crushed pretzels if you’re feeling fancy.

It seriously does NOT get better than this. Love this flavor combo!
This is one of my favorite combos ever! Love this shake!!
I audibly gasped when I saw this, Shelly! Way to be the superstar! You totally win at milkshakes.
This is pretty much milkshake perfection 🙂
I’m so addicted to those little pretzel bits filled with peanut butter and I know this shake is going to knock my socks off!
Ohhhhh does this shake look amazing!
French fries dipped into milkshakes are the BEST EVER – but yeah, a mashed potato milkshake might not work! 😉 I think that’s okay because *pretzels*?! Yes *please*.
Best. Milkshake. EVER. Peanut butter and pretzels are my kryptonite. Add chocolate and ice cream and I’m just done. LOVE!
I want this for breakfast. In fact, I may go dip some pretzels in peanut for breakfast! I love this milkshake!
I almost did not get passed the first photo Shelly. You know how to present a milkshake! Love the flavor combo; so creative.
These are so beautiful that I felt my eyes starting to get a little misty. Gosh, I love milkshake week.
Chocolate + PB + Pretzels = heaven for me. In a milkshake? Heck yes.
I NEED this shake!
I am already loving milkshake week. Peanut butter and pretzel is one of my fav combos…so excited to try it in a milkshake!!!
Why yes I would like to have this milkshake to myself!
I am all about peanut butter in anything I can possibly work it into! This looks so good, Shelly! Pinned of course 🙂
This milkshake is calling my naaaaame!! AH!!
This milkshake looks like one that they serve at my favorite local creamery! Looks so yummy!
You may not have put fries in it, but I still want to dip them in it!!
HA! That’s my girl!
I see this in my future with a touch, or two or three, of caramel sauce… Yum!!! Thank you Shelly
This is just too fun! I’d eat the whole thing in no time 🙂 Mmm!
Whaaat? That is what a milkshake can look like? Prettiest looking milkshake ever!
I’m speechless. This is too perfect!
mmm I love that you squirted chocolate sauce in the glass. I love the salty/sweet combo. My fave!
This milkshake looks irresistibly good!
This looks ridiculous. Plus it’s all melty which makes me want to jump through the screen and drink it!
OMG!!!! I’m lovingggggg this!!!! I am totally going to add french fries to this divine milkshake along with the pretzels and the peanut butter! That chocolate ‘squirt’ hahaha on the inside of the glass just makes this milkshake look SO FANCY! Yummmmmmmmm!!
I love everything about this. Looks amazing!!
How come I have never heard of milkshake week!? I feel like I have been missing out on something great!
I love the peanut butter/ pretzel/ chocolate combo in my favorite granola bars, but I never thought to add pretzels to a milkshake. Brilliant – thanks for the recipe!
Pretzels would be so good in a sweet milkshake with chocolate and peanut butter! Although I think I would have to add bananas to this as well 😉
I’m still giggling about your chocolate sauce comment. We eat a lot of peanut butter milkshakes – the next ones are definitely going to have pretzels in them. Great idea!
oh my goodness!!! Milkshake week!!! freaking love this!!
Wow, I’m not usually much of a milkshake person but I need to try this immediately!!
All these milkshakes aren’t going to look great with my bathing suit, but I don’t care! So many fun and delicious recipes to try out!
Seriously, what? I want one!!! you’re a genius!
