Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 48 pieces Pretzels (about 48 individual pretzels) Small sandwich-style or mini twists work great.
  • 1 cup Peanut butter Creamy is easiest; chunky adds great texture.
  • 6 oz Dark chocolate, chopped 60–70% cocoa melts smoothly.
  • 1-2 tsp Honey or maple syrup (optional) For a smoother, slightly sweeter peanut butter layer.
  • 1 pinch Sea salt (optional) Brightens the flavors.
  • Chocolate sprinkles (optional) Fun for kids or parties.
  • Crushed peanuts (optional) For extra crunch and nuttiness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on one pretzel.
  2. Top with another pretzel to create a compact sandwich.
Melting Chocolate
  1. Place chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20–30 second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth.
Dipping
  1. Dip each pretzel sandwich into the chocolate.
  2. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Toppings & Setting
  1. While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle with sea salt, sprinkles, or crushed peanuts.
  2. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the chocolate firm up.
Serving
  1. Bring them to room temperature for a minute before serving.

Notes

Use fresh, crisp pretzels for the best snap. If your peanut butter is too runny, stir and chill before assembling.
