Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
Chocolate peanut butter pretzel bites have salty crunchy pretzels, a soft creamy peanut butter center and hard chocolate shell. It is the perfect mix of chocolate covered pretzels and buckeyes!
Servings: 32 Pretzel Bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup butter softened
- 1¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 64 mini pretzel twists
- 1 pound melting chocolate
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!
