Servings: 55 pretzel bites
Calories: 112kcal
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment or Wax Paper
- Electric Mixer
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, softened
- ¾ cups Creamy Peanut Butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 110 Pretzel Snaps, also known as waffle pretzels or square pretzels
- 1 ½ cups Semisweet Chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp Vegetable oil
- Sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Set aside.
- Use an electric hand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract.
- Add the powdered sugar about ¼ cup at a time, mixing between each addition.
- Scoop 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form it into a ball.
- Place the peanut butter ball on top of a pretzel snap. Place another pretzel on top and gently press so that it forms a sandwich. Continue until all of the peanut butter mixture is used up.
- In a small, microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and the vegetable oil. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each session, until the chocolate is melted.
- Dip one half of each pretzel sandwich in the melted chocolate, placing it back on the wax-paper lined sheet until all of the pretzel bites are coated. You can also decorate the chocolate with small sprinkles at this point if desired.
- Put the cookie sheet in the refrigerator to make the chocolate harden faster if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
- The texture of your peanut butter mixture should be like a soft fudge. Feel free to add more or less powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency. All brands of peanut butter are different and some may require more sugar.
- Make sure you use a non-stick surface like parchment paper, wax paper or a silicone mat for placing your bites to cool. If they get stuck you might lose some chocolate!
- You can add a sprinkle of sea salt or colorful sprinkles to each bite before the chocolate cools for a little extra decoration. This would be a great way to dress them up for Christmas or Easter!
- This recipe is easy to half, double or triple. I love to make a big batch and snack on them all week!
- Creamy Peanut Butter: I prefer a smooth, creamy peanut butter but you can use crunchy if you want an extra crunch. I would recommend using a brand of peanut butter that does not need stirring so that the right texture is achieved. You can choose to use natural peanut butter but you may need to use less because it is wetter.
- Pretzels: Square snap pretzels work the best and hold onto your peanut butter the best but you can use any bite-sized pretzels. Pretzel sticks will not work!
- Chocolate Chips: I chose semi-sweet but you could use whatever you have on hand. Dark chocolate, white chocolate, or milk chocolate will also work great!
