Peanut Butter Pretzel Sandwiches

The name says it all. I found this recipe on Pinterest and knew it'd be an instant success. It's a little time consuming with chilling the peanut butter sandwiches before dipping them in chocolate, but it's definitely worth it. Otherwise, the sandwiches will fall apart in the chocolate. Make sure you have plenty of time to make these before your next party. They can even chill in the refrigerator for a day or two. I hope you enjoy!
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • pretzels
  • 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (or other candy coating, but I think the chips tasted great)
  1. Combine peanut butter and softened butter in large bowl with a whisk or stand mixer. Add 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.
  2. Use a teaspoon to scoop into balls. Roll each portion into a small ball then sandwich between two pretzels. I found it easiest to lay out all the pretzels, put a ball on top of each one, then add the top pretzels at the end. Stick the whole tray into the freezer for about half an hour.
  3. Pour chocolate chips into microwave safe bowl and heat at 30-second intervals until completely melted. Remove sandwiches from freezer and quickly dip halfway into melted chocolate. Repeat with all sandwiches. Return to tray and place in freezer until completely set up. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
