PB Pretzel Bites

I don't know how to describe these bites with any word other than YUM. They've got your chocolate, your peanut butter, your salt, your creaminess AND your crunchiness, all rolled into bite-sized delights. I received nothing but compliments and contended sighs from everyone that tried these little gems. Give your taste-buds a treat and make these now.

You don't need too many ingredients, despite all the flavor packed into these little guys. In fact, you probably already have most, if not all, of these in your kitchen. Pretzels, peanut butter, butter, confectioner's sugar, brown sugar and chocolate chips.

Combine the pb and butter.

Add the sugars.

Sandwich the mixture between two pretzels and freeze for a half hour.

Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler, then dip the pretzel sandwiches in the chocolate. Put them in the fridge until the chocolate is set.

Enjoy!

Thank you to Sweet Pea's Kitchen for the inspiration.

Recipe

1 cup creamy peanut butter

2 Tbsp butter (softened)

1/2 cup confectioner's sugar

3/4 cup light brown sugar

about 1/2 of a 16 oz bag of mini pretzels

1 & 1/2 12oz bags of semi-sweet chocolate chips

-Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

-Beat peanut butter and butter with an electric mixer.

-Add confectioner's sugar and light brown sugar to butters and continue to beat until combined.

-Sandwich approximately 1 tsp of the peanut butter mixture between two mini pretzels and place on prepared cookie sheet. Continue this process until the entire peanut butter mixture has been used.

-Freeze for one half hour.

-Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler. Dip about half of each peanut butter/pretzel bite into the chocolate. Place each finished bite back onto the prepared cookie sheet. Once all bites have been dipped in chocolate, place them in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set (approximately 10-20 minutes.) 

-Store in an airtight container, either in the refrigerator or on your counter-top.
