This is another recipe I found while surfing Pinterest. It came from Sweet Pea’s Kitchen. They turned out pretty well, except I really don’t like semi-sweet chocolate. I think this would taste awesome with milk chocolate instead.
Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- Pretzels
- 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat peanut butter and butter until combined. Scrape down bowl, add sugars and beat until combined. You should be able to roll the mixture into balls without sticking to your hands. If needed, add more powdered sugar until you reach a consistency that is easy to roll.
-
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 teaspoon of mixture for each ball, and place on prepared baking sheet. Sandwich the balls between two pretzels and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
-
Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat. Dip each pretzel bite halfway into the melted chocolate and place on the prepared baking sheet. Chill in refrigerator until chocolate is set.
Those look super easy to make! I think they’ll do great for our holiday cookie exchange.
Oh man, I wish I had one right now! I bet they would be great with milk chocolate…i will have to try that next time I make them! 🙂
