Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
20 mins prepServes 38
Looking for a simple no bake dessert to serve this summer? Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites are it! All you need are 7 ingredients, including creamy peanut butter and bittersweet chocolate. These bite-sized peanut butter desserts are the perfect combination of salty and sweet.
0 Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
1 Line up all the mini pretzel twists on the baking sheet. Set aside.
2 Measure the peanut butter, dark brown sugar, powdered sugar and vanilla into a large bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat the ingredients together until combined. It will be crumbly, and that’s OK. Pinch a bit of it and see if it forms a ball, as well as sticks to itself, without sticking to your hands. If it does, you’re good to go. If it’s too crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter and mix again until the desired consistency is reached.
3 Use a teaspoon to measure out the peanut butter mixture into your hand.
4 Gently form into a ball.
5 Place the peanut butter ball onto one of the pretzels, and press another pretzel on top to form the sandwich.
6 Repeat until all the bites have been made, and then refrigerate for 1 hour.
7 While the pretzel bites chill, melt the chocolate with the butter in the microwave in 30-second bursts until melted. (You could also do this in a double boiler.)
8 Dip the chilled bites into the chocolate, and place back onto the baking sheet.
9 Chill for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
10 Enjoy!
