Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

Yum, yum, yum, yum, YUM!!!
Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • Pretzels  (I use kind that almost look waffle style)
  • 1 bag semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Combine peanut butter and softened butter in a large bowl with a spatula. Add the sugars and mix to combine. At this point if the filling will roll easily into balls without sticking to your hands you’re ready to go. If not, add a little more of each sugar until you reach a consistency that is easy to roll.
  2. Use a teaspoon measure to scoop the filling. Roll each portion into a small ball, then sandwich them between two whole pretzels. Place the pretzel sandwiches on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Stick the whole pan in the freezer for about half an hour.
  3. Pour the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and heat at 30-second intervals, stirring occasionally until completely melted. Alternatively melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl above a pot of simmering water. Remove the pretzel sandwiches from the freezer and quickly dip each half-way or completely into the melted chocolate. Return to the pan and repeat with remaining sandwiches. When all are dipped, return the pan to the freezer to set up completely. Store the sandwiches in the refrigerator until serving time
