Pretzel bites

As soon as I saw these pretzel bites on 17 and baking, I wanted to make them. How can you go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate? I can tell you, they only lasted a few minutes in our house!


Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

Adapted from 17 and baking, adapted from Foodaphilia
Makes around 45-60 bite sizes sandwiches

1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tsp butter, room temperature
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Pretzels
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips

In a small bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter together until smooth and creamy. Beat in the powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well mixed – you may need to add more powdered sugar to get the filling thick and stiff enough to hold its shape.

Roll teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture between your palms to form balls. Sandwich between two pretzels and put on a plate or cookie sheet. Freeze the pretzel sandwiches for half an hour.

Melt the chocolate chips, using the microwave (30 second intervals) or a double boiler. Dip half of each pretzel sandwich in chocolate. Return the tray to the freezer and chill until the chocolate sets. Store the Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites in the refrigerator or freezer until serving time. Enjoy!
