Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter Balls image

Provided by Trish - Mom On Timeout

Categories     Dessert

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup crushed pretzels
½ cup mini chocolate chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
16 oz chocolate candy coating (CandiQuik, Ghirardelli melting wafers, etc.)
chocolate sprinkles (crushed peanuts, crushed pretzels (optional))

Steps:

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until nice and fluffy.
  • Add peanut butter and beat until combined.
  • Add vanilla extract and continue beating just until incorporated.
  • Stir in powdered sugar, crushed pretzels and mini chocolate chips. (You can use your hands here to really work it all together. It's actually much faster. Likewise, you could put it all in stand mixer and mix it that way as well.)
  • Shape into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. (You will need to give them a good squeeze in your hand before rolling into balls.)
  • Refrigerate for one hour or freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Combine chocolate chips with candy coating and melt according to package directions. (30 second intervals on high, stirring in between, usually does the trick.)
  • Dip balls into melted chocolate, and place back on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles, crushed peanuts, or crushed pretzels if desired.

CRISPY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL BALLS



Crispy Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Balls image

These are absolutely addictive! Sweet and salty with lots of crunch, and very easy to make. These should probably be stored in the fridge to keep from going soft or you could probably coat in an extra layer of chocolate if you wanted to go through the trouble.

Provided by C. Taylor

Categories     Candy

Time 10m

Yield 60-70 balls

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup pretzel (crushed into little pieces)
3 cups crispy rice cereal (rice crispies)

Steps:

  • In a double boiler or microwave (on 50 % power, in a large bowl) melt the chocolate and peanut butter. If microwaving, start with a minute and then add additional time (30 secs at a time, mixing in between) until melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.

  • Drop by the teaspoonful onto a lined cookie sheet and place in the fridge. Once hardened, you can transfer to a bag or container. These are best stored in the fridge.

  • Roll the dough into balls. Use a small cookie scoop to roll the dough into balls. This will help to ensure that the balls are all the same size and shape.
  • Coat the balls in chocolate. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. Then, use a spoon or fork to coat the balls in the chocolate.
  • Sprinkle the balls with toppings. Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle the balls with your favorite toppings, such as crushed pretzels, peanuts, or toffee bits.
  • Chill the balls. Place the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help to set the chocolate and make the balls easier to eat.
