Description

Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites are a delightful combination of crunchy pretzels filled with smooth creamy peanut butter, then coated in rich semi-sweet chocolate and optionally topped with sprinkles or crushed nuts. These bite-sized treats are perfect for snacking or serving at parties and require no baking, making them a quick and easy dessert to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 cups Miniature Pretzel Twists

Filling

  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter

Coating & Toppings

  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt (optional)
  • 1 cup Sprinkles or Crushed Nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workstation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Fill the Pretzels: Use a spoon or piping bag to fill each miniature pretzel twist with creamy peanut butter, ensuring the filling stays within the pretzel cup.
  3. Chill the Pretzels: Place the peanut butter-filled pretzels in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up and hold its shape during dipping.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips by heating in short bursts and stirring frequently until smooth. Stir in the vegetable oil to thin the chocolate, making it easier to coat the pretzel bites evenly.
  5. Dip the Pretzel Bites: Carefully dip each chilled, filled pretzel into the melted chocolate, coating all sides. Shake off any excess chocolate to avoid clumps.
  6. Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the pretzel bites with your choice of colorful sprinkles or crushed nuts to add texture and visual appeal.
  7. Let Them Set: Return the coated pretzel bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, transfer the pretzel bites to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a delicious snack or party treat.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for easy filling; chunky peanut butter may be difficult to pipe.
  • Vegetable oil helps to thin the chocolate for smooth dipping—do not skip this step.
  • Sea salt is optional but enhances the sweet and salty contrast.
  • Store finished pretzel bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep chocolate firm.
  • These treats are best enjoyed within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
