INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- Pretzels
- 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
- Grab a baking sheet and line it with wax paper. Set it aside.
- Now in a stand mixer bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter with the paddle attachment until it’s combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl, add the sugars and beat them until they’re well combined.
- At this point, you should be able to roll that mixture into balls without them sticking to your hands. If you need to, add more powdered sugar until you reach a consistency that you can roll into a ball easily.
- Begin to roll the mixture into small balls, using about 1 teaspoon of mixture for each ball, and place them on the baking sheet. From there, you’ll sandwich the balls between two pretzels and place them in the freezer for around 30 minutes.
- Begin to melt the chocolate in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water. Occasionally stir until the chocolate is smooth, then remove from the heat.
- Dip each pretzel bite halfway into the melted chocolate and then place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Chill it in the refrigerator until the chocolate sets.
