Ingredients
- 2 cups small pretzel twists (or your favorite pretzel shape)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, melted
- Optional: crushed peanuts or festive sprinkles for topping
Instructions
Begin by making the peanut butter filling. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and salt until they form a thick, spreadable consistency. You want the mixture to hold its shape without being overly stiff.
Arrange half of the pretzels on a tray or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a small spoon or a piping bag, dollop about a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture onto each pretzel. Place a second pretzel on top, gently pressing down to form little sandwich bites. Pop your tray into the freezer for about 15 minutes, giving the peanut butter center time to firm up.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each round until smooth. Once the pretzel sandwiches have chilled, carefully dip each one halfway into the melted chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl before placing the bites onto the parchment-lined tray. If you’d like to add crushed peanuts or sprinkles, sprinkle them over the chocolate while it’s still warm.
Return the coated pretzel bites to the freezer or fridge for another 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. When the chocolate has hardened, your Fun Peanut Butter Pretzel Touchdown Bites are ready to serve.
These crunchy, sweet-and-salty snacks are such a crowd-pleaser—ideal for game days, birthdays, and everything in between. They’re a wonderful option for those who love their peanut butter treats, and you can easily adapt the recipe by swapping in almond or cashew butter if peanuts aren’t your style. Feel free to experiment with dark or white chocolate drizzles, or go wild with colorful toppings. However you choose to enjoy them, these bites deliver a guaranteed win in the flavor department and are sure to have your guests cheering for more.
