Ingredients
Scale
- 50 small pretzels (mini twist or square-shaped)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and thick. - Assemble the Pretzel Sandwiches:
Spread about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture onto a pretzel. Place another pretzel on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining pretzels and peanut butter mixture. - Melt the Chocolate:
Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. - Dip the Pretzel Sandwiches:
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each pretzel sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the candies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. - Add the Finishing Touch:
Sprinkle the top of each candy with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still wet. - Let Them Set:
Refrigerate the candies for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once set, store the candies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for peanut butter for a nut-free version.
- Dark or milk chocolate can be used instead of semi-sweet chocolate depending on your taste preference.
- These candies make a great holiday gift when wrapped in festive packaging!
