Recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzels

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Ingredients

Instructions

Take out a cookie sheet, line with parchment (wax paper) and lay out half the pretzels.

Place the peanut butter into a a medium size bowl. Add the icing sugar 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.

After the icing sugar is well blended add the vanilla. Blend well, add the peanuts and mix until combined.

Use a cookie scoop to measure out the candy, roll it into a ball and flatten lightly. Place on top of the pretzels.

Cover with the second pretzels making sure the line up with the bottom pretzels.

If using packaged chocolate wafers follow the directions on the package, and melt your chocolate accordingly.

I used bulk barn belgian chocolate so this is how I melted my chocolate wafers. Add the 2 tsp of butter to a small bowl, microwave on defrost for 45 seconds, add the melting chocolate wafers. Microwave on defrost for 3-4 minutes, stirring the chocolate occasionally to coat with the butter and help melt.

Once melted, spoon the chocolate on top of the pretzel sandwiches. Add a peanut to the top and place in the fridge to set.
