Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites are bite-sized balls made from creamy peanut butter mixed with dried milk and sweetener, combined with crushed pretzels for crunch, then coated in a dark chocolate and coconut oil mixture. The bites chill in the freezer until firm, resulting in a sweet, salty, and chocolaty snack with contrast between creamy center and crunchy coating.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy (I used Adams, natural
- 1/3 cup non-fat dried milk
- 1 tablespoon truvia sweetener or your favorite sweetener
- 1 cup pretzels crushed
- 1 cup dark chocolate 63% baking chips, extra dark
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix together peanut butter, dried milk, sweetener until well blended. Fold in crushed pretzels and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove from freezer and scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll with your hands into 1/2-1 inch balls. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put back in the freezer for another 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, melt the chocolate with the coconut oil over a double boiler or in the microwave (stir every 30 seconds) until smooth.
- Dip each peanut butter ball in the chocolate and after coating the balls place on parchment paper. Garnish with crushed pretzels and let chocolate coating harden in the refrigerator. Once set enjoy!
- Store in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container.
