How to make chocolate dipped peanut butter pretzels
Step 1: beat together the creamy peanut butter and softened butter in a bowl.
To make vegan friendly: use vegan butter.
Step 2: Add in the powdered sugar and brown sugar, then mix to combine.
A note here about how much sugar to add.
This is really personal preference.
I did not want mine to be overly sweet, so I only used ¼ cup of both brown sugar and powdered sugar.
This results in sticky peanut butter, not dry.
If you prefer the dryer texture and more sweetness, simply add more powdered sugar to your liking!
Step 3: Line a baking sheet with wax paper and make your stuffed peanut butter pretzels.
Add 1 teaspoon of peanut butter filling to each pretzel, using a measuring spoon with another spoon to scoop it out.
If you use more powdered sugar and the filling is dry, you can use your hands.
Place another pretzel on top of each one to make a pretzel peanut butter sandwich.
Place the stuffed pretzels in the freezer for 30 minutes to chill.
Step 4: Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments, until smooth.
Step 5: Dip each pretzel half in the chocolate, then place back on the baking sheet.
Once finished, place the pretzels back in the fridge or freezer until hardened.
How to store stuffed chocolate dipped pretzels
