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!
CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL BITES
Steps:

In a medium bowl, microwave semi-sweet chocolate in 15 second increments, until melted. Line countertops with wax paper and dip half of pretzel sandwiches in melted chocolate and set on wax paper. Sprinkle with fluer de sal and let chocolate harden. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL BITES
Steps:
- Combine peanut butter and softened butter in a large bowl with a fork or whisk, or in a stand mixer. Add the sugars and mix to combine. At this point if the filling will roll easily into balls without sticking to your hands you're ready to go. If not, add a little more of each sugar until you reach a consistency that is easy to roll (I used about 3/4 cup of each sugar). Use a teaspoon measure to scoop the filling. Roll each portion into a small ball, then sandwich them between two whole pretzels. When all the balls are rolled and successfully sandwiched, stick the whole tray in the freezer for about half an hour. Pour the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and heat at 30-second intervals, stirring occasionally until completely melted. Remove the pretzel sandwiches from the freezer and quickly dip each half-way into the melted chocolate. Return to the tray and repeat with remaining sandwiches. When all are dipped, return the tray to the freezer to set up completely. Store the sandwiches in the refrigerator until serving time.

Steps:
- 1. Combine peanut butter and softened butter in a large bowl. Add the sugars and mix to combine. The filling should roll easily into balls without sticking to your hands. If not, add a little more powdered sugar until you reach a consistency that is easy to roll.
- 2. Use a teaspoon measure to scoop the filling. Roll each portion into a small ball, then sandwich them between two whole pretzels. Place on a cookie tray lined with wax or parchment paper. When all the balls are rolled and successfully sandwiched, stick the whole tray in the freezer for about half an hour to firm up.
- 3. In a small saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and shortening. Heat over low or medium/low heat, stirring often until completely melted. Remove the pretzel sandwiches from the freezer and quickly dip each half-way into the melted chocolate. Return to the tray and repeat with remaining sandwiches. When all are dipped, return the tray to the freezer to set up completely. Store the sandwiches in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the pretzels into small pieces. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
- If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Be careful not to overcook the peanut butter mixture. It should be thick and creamy, but not too hard.
- If you want to make the bites even more festive, you can drizzle them with melted chocolate or sprinkle them with crushed candy canes.
Conclusion:
These peanut butter pretzel bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover pretzels. So next time you're looking for a sweet and salty snack, give these bites a try!
