Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzels:
I am a self-proclaimed peanut butter connoisseur. I LOVE it. Everything is better with peanut butter smothered all over it. But only certain kinds. If it’s not the right kind of peanut butter, I won’t even eat it.
I’ve received a lot of chocolate covered pretzels as “neighbor gifts” at Christmastime over the years, and I’ve always loved them. But when the idea popped in my head to make pretzel rods covered in peanut butter and THEN chocolate, nothing was stopping me. I made a bee-line to the grocery store and bought some pretzel rods. I experimented with a few different ways and finally got a delicious peanut butter chocolaty treat that any sweet tooth would die for.
Here’s how I did it:
Gather together some pretzel rods, some chocolate (I just used chocolate chips) of your choice… milk, semi-sweet, dark… whatever you like, and your favorite peanut butter.
Melt the peanut butter in the microwave so that it runs. I melted about 3/4 cup in 30 seconds. Dip your pretzel rod in the melted peanut butter and immediately put it in the freezer. Continue dipping and freezing until you have all the pretzels that you want. I like to freeze mine until they’re nice and hard, to ensure that the peanut butter doesn’t just slide right off when you dip it in the chocolate. This should take 1-2 hours.
Next, melt your chocolate in the microwave in small increments (10-15 seconds) so that you don’t burn it. Make sure you stir it well in between. Once it’s nice and melted, take your pretzels out and dip them, fully covering the peanut butter, and put it back in the freezer quickly so that everything doesn’t melt off the stick. Once you’ve dipped all the pretzels, let them freeze until they’ve set up, 15-30 minutes.
Take them out of the freezer and give them away or eat them up, they’re definitely hard to resist!
