Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels
Description
This recipe starts with a creamy filling made by mixing peanut butter, room temperature unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth. A spoonful of this mixture is sandwiched between two mini pretzels, forming small peanut butter pretzel bites. These are then partially dipped in melted semi-sweet chocolate, providing a sweet contrast to the salty pretzel and rich peanut butter center.
The chocolate is melted gently in short microwave bursts to avoid burning, then sandwiches are dipped and placed on parchment-lined trays and chilled to set. The chilled chocolate coating becomes firm, creating a pleasing texture combination when bitten.
These treats balance salty, sweet, creamy, and crunchy elements in a small, easy-to-eat size. They are suitable for sharing, snacking, or gifting.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cups peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar unsifted
- 6 ounces chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 48 pretzels mini
Instructions
- To your stand mixer with the beater attachment add the peanut butter, unsalted butter, vanilla and powdered sugar until combined then place 1 tablespoon between 2 pretzels to form a sandwich.
- Melt the chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave in 30 second increments then dip the sandwiches halfway in the melted chocolate and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to harden in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use room temperature unsalted butter to ensure the peanut butter filling mixes smoothly.
