Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- 2 cups mini pretzels
Garnish/Optional:
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Arrange parchment paper on a baking sheet to prevent sticking and create an easy cleanup surface.
- Create miniature flavor bundles by gently pressing peanut butter between two pretzel wafers, ensuring even coverage.
- Transform chocolate chips into a silky, glossy coating using a microwave or double boiler method, stirring periodically to achieve uniform melting.
- Delicately submerge each pretzel sandwich halfway into the molten chocolate, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl.
- Position the chocolate-coated treats on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining consistent spacing.
- Enhance flavor profiles by sprinkling sea salt or decorative sprinkles across the candies for added texture and visual appeal.
- Allow chocolatey morsels to solidify completely at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, or expedite the process by chilling in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Once set, serve these delectable sweet-and-salty bites at room temperature for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Chill the baking sheet before assembly to help candies set faster and prevent chocolate from spreading.
- Experiment with different chocolate types like dark, milk, or white chocolate for varied flavor profiles.
- Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter for nut-free alternatives that maintain creamy texture.
- Select small, uniform pretzels to ensure consistent size and elegant presentation of each candy bite.
