Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter
- 1 ¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 16-ounce bag pretzels
Instructions
- Melt your butter in a large pot over medium heat on the stovetop.
- Once your butter is completely melted, add the chocolate chips and stir over medium heat until the chocolate chips are melted.
- Remove the pot from the stovetop. Quickly stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add your chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl along with the pretzels and fold to combine. Once the pretzels are evenly coated in chocolate, toss them in the powdered sugar.
- Let your muddy buddy pretzels rest on the counter for about 30 minutes to give the chocolate time to set up a little bit. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Allow the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture to cool slightly after you coat the pretzels. This will prevent the powdered sugar from melting.
- Store these peanut butter buddies in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can place them in an airtight container or a Ziploc bag.
- Try melting the butter, chocolate, and peanut butter in the microwave instead of on the stovetop.
