Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Roughly crush the mini pretzel twists into smaller pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the rolled oats to the bowl and stir to combine.
In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and honey over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, about 3β5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt (if using).
Pour the warm mixture over the crushed pretzels and oats in the mixing bowl. Stir well to coat all the dry ingredients evenly.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press lightly if necessary to help them hold their shape.
Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes or until set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
