Ingredients
- 1 bag pretzel snaps
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup M&M's
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Arrange pretzel snaps in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are flat and not overlapping.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop a small amount of the chocolate-peanut butter mixture onto the center of each pretzel snap.
- Gently spread the mixture to cover most of the pretzel, leaving a small border around the edges.
- While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle M&M's on top of each pretzel bite, pressing them lightly to ensure they stick.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set and harden completely.
- Remove from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother melting and better mixing of chocolate and peanut butter.
- Microwave chocolate and peanut butter in short intervals to prevent burning and ensure a smooth consistency.
- For a more uniform look, use a small cookie scoop or piping bag to distribute the chocolate mixture.
- Work quickly when adding M&M's to ensure they stick to the warm chocolate.
- Chill in the refrigerator to set the chocolate faster, but don't leave them too long to prevent condensation.
- For variations, try using different types of chocolate or adding crushed nuts on top.
- Make sure your workspace is clean and lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup and non-stick results.
