Ingredients
Scale
Pretzels
- 24 small pretzel twists
Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Chocolate
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare Pretzels: Lay out pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer to ensure easy assembly and cleanup.
- Add Peanut Butter: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of creamy peanut butter onto the center of each pretzel, spreading it slightly but keeping it contained so it won’t spill over the edges.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Top with Chocolate: Using a spoon, drizzle or dollop the melted chocolate over the peanut butter on each pretzel, covering most of the peanut butter to create a solid candy top.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm and set completely.
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, use salted pretzels to enhance the sweet and salty contrast.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
- Store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Ensure the chocolate is fully melted but not overheated to avoid burning or thickening.
