Servings: 12 Servings

- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

Instructions

- Divide the filling into 24 portions. Roll each one into a ball, place it between two pretzels, and press gently.48 mini pretzel twists
- Set the sandwiches on a parchment-lined plate and freeze for about 30 minutes, until firm enough to dip. If the filling isn't firm after 30 minutes, freeze for an additional 30 minutes.
- Microwave the chocolate chips in a small bowl in 15-second bursts, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth. If the chocolate is thick, stir in the coconut oil to smooth it out.½ cup semisweet chocolate chips, ½ teaspoon coconut oil
- Dip each sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate and return it to the parchment.
- Refrigerate the dipped sandwiches for 30 to 45 minutes, until the filling and chocolate are set.
- Let the chocolate set completely before putting the pretzels into bags or paper cups.
Notes
- Peanut butter: I don’t recommend natural peanut butter for this recipe.
- Sticky filling: The filling gets sticky if it’s too warm or has too much butter in it.
- Make ahead: The pretzels can be made a day or two in advance. Keep them chilled so the chocolate doesn’t melt.
- Freezing: The pretzels can be frozen, but the chocolate may turn white once they’re out of the freezer.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
