Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups mini pretzels, square or traditional
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips (optional)
  • Sprinkles, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon to mix until well combined and smooth. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
  • Coat the Pretzels. Add the mini pretzels to the bowl with the peanut butter mixture. Gently fold the pretzels into the mixture until they are evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the pretzels; you want them to maintain their shape.
  • Shape the Bites. Using a spoon or your hands, scoop up small amounts of the coated pretzel mixture and shape them into bite-sized balls or clusters. Place the pretzel bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Chill (Optional). For firmer bites, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the peanut butter mixture to set. This step is optional, but it makes the bites easier to handle.
  • Add Chocolate (Optional). If using chocolate, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pretzel bites. Alternatively, you can dip the bites into the melted chocolate.
  • Garnish (Optional). While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the pretzel bites with sprinkles, if desired. This adds a fun and festive touch!
  • Set and Serve. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving. If you’re in a hurry, you can place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for a few minutes to speed up the process. Once set, enjoy your Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites!
