Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- Sheet Pan
Ingredients
- 1 bag 12 oz mini pretzel twists (about 40 pretzels)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or PB2
- 1 cup milk or dark chocolate chips or your preferred chocolate - I used ½ and ½
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional
- Sprinkles chopped or crumbled nuts, toasted coconut or flaked sea salt for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread a dollop of peanut butter filling onto the flat side of one pretzel. Top with another pretzel to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining pretzels and filling.
- Place the assembled pretzel sandwiches in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up the filling.
- While the pretzels chill, melt the chocolate. You can do this in a double boiler or by heating in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. If using coconut oil, add it to the chocolate for a thinner consistency (optional).
- Dip each pretzel sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate, coating the bottom and sides evenly. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
- Place the dipped pretzels back onto the prepared baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or flaked sea salt before the chocolate hardens (optional).
- Refrigerate or freeze the dipped pretzels until the chocolate is set, about 15-20 minutes.
- Enjoy your sweet and salty creation!
Notes
- Use a small spoon or piping bag to spread the peanut butter filling for cleaner sandwiches.
- If the chocolate thickens while dipping, simply add a teaspoon of water at a time and reheat it in short bursts to maintain a smooth consistency.
- Freeze the dipped pretzels for longer if you prefer a colder, firmer treat.
- Get creative with different toppings! Experiment with dried fruit, mini chocolate chips, or candy pieces for an extra layer of flavor and fun.
- This recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, perfect for sharing with friends, family, or simply enjoying a moment of indulgence. So, grab your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to experience the delicious symphony of chocolate-dipped pretzels with peanut butter filling!
