Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter or crunchy
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups mini pretzel twists
  • 12 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate chopped or chips, for dipping
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil optional, for smoother chocolate
Salted Caramel Variation
  • 1 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1.5 cups mini pretzel twists
  • 12 oz milk or white chocolate for dipping
  • flaky sea salt for garnish
Optional Toppings
  • crushed nuts, sprinkles, or white chocolate drizzle for decoration

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking Sheet
  • Microwave-Safe Bowl
  • Spoon or Cookie Scoop
  • Fork or Dipping Tool

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  2. Sandwich peanut butter (or caramel) between two pretzels to form a bite. Place back on tray.
  3. Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each pretzel bite halfway or fully in chocolate. Let excess drip off.
  4. Place dipped bites on parchment paper. Add optional toppings such as sea salt, nuts, or sprinkles while chocolate is still wet.
  5. Refrigerate bites for 10–15 minutes until chocolate is set. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

For a vegan version, use almond butter and dairy-free chocolate. To keep crisp texture, avoid overfilling. These also freeze well—just thaw slightly before serving.
