Description

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pretzel Bites are a fun little snack. They combine peanut butter and chocolate, a winning combination. And they combine sweet and salty, one of my absolute favorite combinations. We finished ours off with a light sprinkle of fleur de sel—the perfect touch!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
  • ½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • ¾ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 package (about 12 Oz. Size) Mini Pretzels
  • 2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips
  • 2 teaspoons Fluer De Sel, For Sprinkling

Preparation

Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat peanut butter and butter until combined. Scrape down the bowl, add sugars and beat until combined. You should be able to roll the mixture into balls without it sticking to your hands. If needed, add more powdered sugar until you reach a consistency that is easy to roll.

Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 teaspoon of mixture for each ball, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sandwich the balls between two pretzels and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or a bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat. Dip each pretzel bite halfway into the melted chocolate and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel before the chocolate hardens. Chill in refrigerator until chocolate is set.

Might as well call these crack bites, since they’re so addictive! YUM!

Brought these to a party last night and they were a hit! I dipped half of the pretzels in milk chocolate and the other half in semi-sweet, simply because that’s all I had on hand. Both versions were really good. If I make these again, I might consider leaving a few “naked” as I sampled one without chocolate and it was really tasty! Not quite as pretty that way though. I used a bit of a heavy hand with the salt, but people seemed to like that. You might want to sample a few and figure out the salt level you like, if you make these…which you should!

Love’em, love’em, love’em was the re-sounding voice when I took them to work (I volunteer at a free clinic) I couldn’t find the mini pretzels (the knoted ones) so I used the small square “waffle” looking ones. Shared the recipe with several of my co-volunteers.
