Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 72 mini twist pretzels
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
- Sea salt (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Butter Mixture:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a stand or hand mixer to beat together the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, granulated white sugar, and salt until fully combined. - Form the Dough:
Gradually beat in the powdered sugar on a low setting until a soft dough forms. - Assemble the Pretzel Bites:
Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. Roll the peanut butter mixture into ½ tablespoon-sized balls. Sandwich each ball between two mini pretzels, gently pressing them together to form a ½-inch thick sandwich. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter dough to make approximately 36 sandwiches. - Chill the Bites:
Arrange the sandwiches on the prepared sheet pan and freeze for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for a quicker set. - Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval until fully melted. - Dip and Garnish:
Dip each peanut butter pretzel sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate and return to the parchment paper-lined sheet pan. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt for an extra touch of flavor. - Set and Serve:
Once all the bites are dipped, return the sheet pan to the freezer for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
