Chocolate and peanut butter fans rejoice, there is a new favorite treat coming your way. The best part is these fun candies are no bake and easy to make.

They are part buckeye, part chocolate covered pretzel. And this is a case where the sum is greater than the parts.

You have the creamy sweet centers surrounded by the salty crunchy pretzels giving you a perfect marriage of flavors and textures. Of course the chocolate holds it all together both literally and for your taste buds.

It is a perfect no bake addiction to your holiday treats. But you don’t have to wait until Christmas to make them, go ahead and whip up a batch now!

Making these easy treats

You start with a creamy peanut butter filling that is very much like the center of peanut butter balls or snowball candies. Then you sandwich it between two small pretzel twists.

After a trip to the freezer, they are ready to be dunked in melted chocolate. We chose milk chocolate this time, but dark chocolate would be delicious as well.

Toss on a few sprinkles if you are feeling festive. Chopped peanuts would make a tasty decoration as well.

Of course no decoration is needed. You can gobble them up just the way they are, though I do recommend letting the chocolate set first. 😉

Ingredients

Instructions

Mix together 1 cup creamy peanut butter and ¼ cup butter until smooth.
Add 1¼ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
Scoop about 1 Tablespoon of the peanut mixture onto the top of a pretzel. Continue the process until all of the peanut butter filling is used. Top with the remaining pretzels to form a sandwich, pushing lightly to ensure they hold together.
Freeze for at least 30 minutes to set up.
Meanwhile, melt 1 pound melting chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler.
Dip pretzels, shaking off the excess chocolate then place on wax paper. Add sprinkles if desired.
Once chocolate is completely set, the pretzels can be removed from the wax paper.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Notes

I like melting a little bit of extra chocolate to make the dipping process easier. Just coat some plain pretzels in the remaining chocolate and you’ll have two easy treats in one!
