Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites


I took most of these to a church get together and the overwhelmingly positive reaction convinced me that these treats needed to be shared on the blog as soon as possible. :) Everyone (other than my crazy husband) LOVED these! So enjoy! I’m positive these peanut butter pretzel bites would make a fun and tasty treat this season.

Ingredients:

1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons softened butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
Pretzels (You can find the holiday shaped pretzels on Amazon)
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

method

Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat peanut butter and butter until combined. Scrape down bowl, add sugars and beat until combined. You should be able to roll 
the mixture into balls without sticking to your hands. If needed, add more powdered sugar until you reach a consistency that is easy to roll. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 teaspoon of mixture for each ball, and place on prepared baking sheet. Sandwich the balls between two pretzels and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat. Dip each pretzel bite halfway into the melted chocolate and place on the prepared baking sheet. Chill in refrigerator until chocolate is set.
