Peanut Butter Salted Pretzel (Print)

Creamy peanut butter, crisp pretzels, and chocolate combine for delicious sweet and salty snack-sized bites.

# Components:

→ Pretzels

01 - 48 mini salted pretzels

→ Filling

02 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
04 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
05 - 1/4 cup brown sugar

→ Coating

06 - 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
07 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
08 - Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - Combine peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and brown sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and thick.
03 - Scoop roughly 1 teaspoon of peanut butter mixture and roll into a ball. Place the ball between two mini pretzels and gently press to form a sandwich. Continue until all the filling and pretzels are used.
04 - Arrange the filled pretzel sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
05 - In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips with coconut oil (or vegetable oil) in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
06 - Holding each pretzel bite, dip halfway into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
07 - Immediately sprinkle dipped pretzel bites with flaky sea salt while chocolate is still soft.
08 - Transfer baking sheet to the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until chocolate has fully set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
