So going through Pinterest I found some sweet dessert I really wanted to try so I went and bought the ingredients and FINALLY today I made them. And MANNNN are they yummy. It was really easy to make and as you can see it doesn't take a lot of ingredients. Everything but the pretzels are things that are always in my cupboard. When freezing them the first time I stuck them in a 9x13 and I had no problems with them sticking. I dipped them just a few at a time because I like standing them upright so that the chocolate doesn't have a flat side. Later I found out it was a good idea, because the one that fell got stuck to the plate. I made these in between cooking fettuccine while I was waiting
Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites (Dipped in Chocolate!)
Adapted from Foodaphilia
Makes around 45-60 bite sizes sandwiches (Mine only made about 25) I guess you where suppose to make the balls a lot smaller?
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tsp butter, room temperature
2/3 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Pretzels
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
In a small bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter together until smooth and creamy. Beat in the powdered sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well mixed – you may need to add more to get the filling thick and stiff enough to hold its shape.
Roll teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture between your palms to form balls. Sandwich between two pretzels and put on a plate or cookie sheet. Freeze the pretzel sandwiches for half an hour.
Melt the chocolate chips, using the microwave (30 second intervals) or a double boiler. Dip half of each pretzel sandwich in chocolate. Return the tray to the freezer and chill until the chocolate sets. Store the Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites in the refrigerator until serving time.
wow that looks great!!!! :)
