Description
These Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites are a perfect sweet and salty snack that combines creamy peanut butter filling with crunchy mini pretzels and a rich chocolate coating. They’re no-bake, easy to assemble, and ideal for sharing—or keeping all to myself.
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or regular)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mini pretzels (about 50–60 pieces)
1 ½ cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional)
Sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth and thick. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Sandwich each ball between two mini pretzels, pressing gently. Repeat until all mixture and pretzels are used. Freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15–20 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each pretzel bite halfway into the melted chocolate and place back on the sheet. Sprinkle sea salt if desired.
- Refrigerate the bites until chocolate is firm, about 20–30 minutes.
Notes
For a creamier filling, skip the graham cracker crumbs.
Use dark or white chocolate for variation.
Use gluten-free pretzels for a gluten-free version.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
