Yummers

I discovered a recipe recently that is just so good I have to share it. Chocolate covered peanut butter pretzel bites.

I made them once, and then my kids have made them again, and they are so yummy, but they get gobbled up pretty quickly. They are kind of like a take 5 bar! I saw many different recipes floating around, but I found this particular one on Sally’s Baking Addiction, and if you would like to take a few minutes and drool over recipes, that’s a good place to do it.

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels

makes 30 bites

1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
60 pretzels
1 semi-sweet Bakers Chocolate Baking Bar OR chocolate melts

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a medium size bowl, mix together peanut butter and butter with a spoon. Stir in sugars until thick dough forms. Roll peanut butter dough into 30 small balls. If it is too sticky, add more powdered sugar.

Sandwich balls between two pretzels and place on prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes.

While the pretzel bites are chilling, break up the chocolate and melt for about 1 minute in microwave, stirring every 20 seconds. Dip the pretzel bites halfway into the melted chocolate and place bite back on baking sheet. Refrigerate the dipped bites for at least 10 minutes for chocolate to set.

Pretzel Bites are fresh up to one week, stored in the refrigerator.
