Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Creamy peanut butter no stir
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • 64 Mini pretzels Snaps or twists
  • 1 1/4 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil (or vegetable, shortening)
  • Flaky sea salt or sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Lay out 32 pretzels on the prepared pan.
    64 Mini pretzels
  • In a medium bowl add the peanut butter and softened butter, using an electric mixer blend them until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix until combined.
    1/2 cup Creamy peanut butter, 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, 3/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • Scoop a teaspoon-size amount of peanut butter mixture and roll into balls. Place the ball in the center of each pretzel. Gently yet firmly top each peanut butter ball with another pretzel. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave at half power, for 20-30 second intervals, stirring each time, until melted and smooth. DO NOT OVERHEAT the chocolate will seize.
    1 1/4 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 tsp Coconut oil
  • Dip each pretzel sandwich halfway in the melted chocolate. Place them back on the prepared pan and sprinkle with flaky sea salt or colored sprinkles. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until the chocolate is set.

Notes

Prepare your setup before mixing the peanut butter mixture. Have everything out and ready to go. This will make the process much easier and quicker.
When sandwiching the pretzels press gently but firmly enough that the peanut butter ball flattens a little and the pretzels adhere to the ball.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Or freeze layered between parchment paper for up to 2 months.
