PEANUT BUTTER, CARAMEL & PRETZEL BITES
Time 1h
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Place 60 unbroken square pretzels on your work surface. Turn each unwrapped caramel on its side and slice in half. This should give you two square caramels per piece for a total of 30. Place each half on an empty pretzel. Continue doing this until all 15 caramels are cut in half and placed on pretzels. Cook caramels on pretzels in the microwave for 5 seconds and press caramel into pretzel. If caramel will not press into pretzel, cook for additional 5 seconds. Caramel should not be melted, just soft enough to press into the pretzel so they stick together. You'll need to do this in batches. On remaining 30 pretzels, smear each one with peanut butter. Press a peanut butter half pretzel into a caramel half pretzel. Do this to all. You should have 30 peanut butter pretzel sandwiches at this point. Melt chocolate according to package directions. Add vegetable oil to thin the chocolate slightly after it's melted. Place pretzel sandwiches into white chocolate and with a fork gently pick each one up and shake it gently to remove excess chocolate. Place Pretzel bites on wax paper, non-stick foil or a baking mat to cool and dry. Sprinkle candy bits, sprinkles or colored sugar on top of each one as you finish, before they dry. Repeat until all 30 pretzel bites are dipped. Allow to dry fully and devour!

These taste a lot like the Take 5 candy bars, which are my hubby's favorite. The dipping chocolate can be a bit messy and time consuming, but it is worth it! Make the bunch and share or freeze to have a constant supply!

Tips:
- Use high-quality peanut butter: The better the peanut butter, the better the bites will taste. Look for a brand that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or salt.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bites tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the bites hold their shape in the oven.
- Bake the bites until they are just set: Overbaking will make the bites dry and crumbly. Bake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Dip the bites in caramel while they are still warm: This will help the caramel adhere to the bites.
- Sprinkle the bites with pretzels while the caramel is still wet: This will help the pretzels stick to the bites.
- Let the bites cool completely before serving: This will help the caramel to set and the bites to firm up.
Conclusion:
These peanut butter caramel pretzel bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a sweet snack. With their combination of peanut butter, caramel, and pretzels, these bites are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
