Ingredient Notes:
Pretzels – We’re using the small square or waffle shaped pretzels to make this recipe. They are perfect for making these peanut butter pretzel sandwiches. Regular pretzels work just fine too.
Peanut Butter – We go for Jif or Skippy with this recipe. Natural peanut butter that needs to be stirred together isn’t the best option for a recipe like this as it’s a bit oily.
Sugar – You’ll also need some brown sugar and some powdered sugar for making the sweet peanut butter filling.
Chocolate Chips – We’re melting semi-sweet chocolate chips and dipping half the pretzel bites into them. You could use milk chocolate or even dark chocolate chips too.
How To Make Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites:
Add the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar, and salt to a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Roll into small balls.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and arrange half the pretzels in an even layer. Place a peanut butter ball on each pretzel and then top them off with the remaining pretzels and freeze.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or in a double broiler. Be careful not to burn the chocolate!
Dip one half of each of the pretzel bites in the chocolate and then pop them back on the baking sheet to set up.
Storage Instructions:
You can keep these peanut butter pretzel bites stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week or in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
