Ingredients!
- Milk and dark chocolate buttons (the milk chocolate adds sweetness while the dark chocolate adds that layer of intense flavour, but you could totally just use one instead of both.)
- Pretzels (well, duh!)
- Peanut butter. I went with smooth because it would contrast the crunch of the pretzels. I think I chose the reduced fat/reduced salt version because the chocolate and pretzels would fill that requirement.
Scoop out a generous 1/3 tsp of peanut butter.
Roll between two spoons to make a lovely little ball of yum.
Smush between two pretzels.
Place on a baking tray until you've finished all your pretzels.
Melt equal parts of milk and dark chocolate using a double boiler... or in my case, a metal bowl over a pan of water.
Drop your prezel bites in and roll them around a bit till they're totally covered.
The pretzel bites look like little hearts! So cute. So sassy. So incredibly delicious.
Lay your little bites on some tin foil to set.
Throw the broken ones into the remainder of the chocolate and make pretzel crunch bark!
While everything is still soft and melty, sprinkle the remainder of the crumbs and salt from the pretzel bag over the bites. Or just stick with rocksalt.
These were so good. And so easy.
Om nom nom.
You totally don't need the extra sugar.
You could try it with crunchy peanut butter.
You could try it with white chocolate.
You could add sprinkles or maybe a layer of caramel before chocolate dipping... the options are endless!
Make some today! Make some tomorrow! Take some to work and impress your co-workers.

Oooh such a good idea! I love that you left out the sugar there really would be no need with all the sugar in the chocolate!
You totally don't miss the extra sugar/butter etc. There is so much going on flavour-wise. You get that smooth chocolate, then the crunchy salty pretzel, then the smooth creamy peanut butter.
If you add the rocksalt from the bottom of the pretzel packet, you can get away with using those as an extra salty sprinkle hit, or if you really wanted to add some extra sweetness, you could use 100's and 1000's instead.
