I believe QToolButton widget should work fine for what you're trying to do, see if and example below would work for you:

QMenu *menu = new QMenu();
QAction *testAction = new QAction("test menu item", this);
menu->addAction(testAction);

QToolButton* toolButton = new QToolButton();

toolBar->addWidget(toolButton);
