Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup pretzel bites
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of pretzel bites, 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1 cup of chocolate chips, and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Stir them together until you achieve a smooth and well-blended mixture.
- Add the pretzel bites to the peanut butter mixture. Gently fold the pretzels into the mixture, ensuring that they are evenly coated with the peanut butter and sugar mixture.
- Once the pretzel bites are well coated, use your hands to form small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each peanut butter pretzel ball into the melted chocolate. Make sure to coat them thoroughly, then allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-coated pretzel bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat this process for all the pretzel bites.
- Once all the bites are coated in chocolate, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
- After the chocolate has set, remove the pretzel bites from the refrigerator. They are now ready to be served!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure that your peanut butter is creamy and your chocolate chips are fresh for the best flavor and texture in your pretzel bites.
- Chill for Better Coating: If you find the chocolate melting too quickly while dipping, chill the pretzel bites in the refrigerator for a few minutes before coating them. This helps the chocolate adhere better.
- Customize Your Coating: Feel free to experiment with toppings! After dipping in chocolate, you can sprinkle crushed pretzels, sea salt, or even colorful sprinkles on top for added flair.
- Uniform Size Matters: Try to make the pretzel balls uniform in size for even coating and a more appealing presentation.
- Storage Tips: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to a week, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
- Microwave Melting: When melting chocolate, be careful not to overheat it. Stirring in between heating intervals helps achieve a smooth consistency without burning the chocolate.
- Perfect for Gifting: These bites make a fantastic homemade gift! Package them in a cute box or jar, and they’ll be a hit at any gathering.
