Peanut Butter Salted Pretzel Bites (Print)

Bite-sized treats blend peanut butter, chocolate, and salted pretzels for a crave-worthy sweet and salty snack.

# Components:

→ Pretzels

01 - 48 mini salted pretzels

→ Filling

02 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
04 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
05 - 1/4 cup brown sugar

→ Coating

06 - 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
07 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
08 - flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and brown sugar. Blend until smooth and thick.
03 - Portion about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter filling, shape into balls, and sandwich between two mini pretzels, pressing gently to form a bite. Continue until all filling and pretzels are used.
04 - Arrange assembled pretzel bites on the lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm.
05 - In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until thoroughly melted and smooth.
06 - Dip each pretzel bite halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Return coated bites to the baking sheet.
07 - Immediately sprinkle each chocolate-dipped bite with flaky sea salt. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until chocolate sets. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
