    There's something pretty magical about chocolate and peanut butter, right? Making these Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites satisfies my love of sweet and salty, too.

    I think Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites are perfect for my first post because they embody my favorite things - peanut butter, chocolate, and simplicity. Oh, and sprinkles!

    These chocolate-covered waffle pretzels are also no-bake so they come together really quickly. I threw these together in between rounds of singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider with my daughter.

    🧂 Ingredients

    • cream cheese
    • creamy peanut butter
    • powdered sugar
    • salt
    • vanilla extract
    • waffle pretzels
    • chocolate chips
    • sprinkles (optional)

    This is meant to be a brief overview of the peanut butter pretzel bites recipe. For step-by-step instructions and a full printable recipe card with ingredients, please scroll down to the teal box below or Jump to Recipe.

    🔪Instructions

    1. Line your baking sheet.
    2. Add the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl.
    3. Beat until smooth.
    4. Scoop some of the mixture onto a pretzel and use a spoon spread it over one side.
    5. Sandwich another pretzel on top of the mixture and press together gently. Please onto the prepared tray.
    6. Repeat until the peanut butter mixture is gone.
    7. Put the whole tray into the refrigerator.
    8. Microwave the chocolate chips in a small bowl for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until melted.
    9. Dip each pretzel sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off before putting back onto the tray.
    10. Add sprinkles, if desired.

    Equipment

    • Parchment Paper
    • Liquid Measuring Cup
    • Measuring Spoons
    • Dry Measuring Cups
    • Microwave safe bowl
    • Baking Sheet

    Ingredients

    • 4 oz cream cheese softened
    • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
    • ¼ cup powdered sugar
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ bag waffle pretzels about 60 waffle pretzels (or regular twists)
    • ½ cup chocolate chips I like to use Ghirardelli 60% baking chips
    • sprinkles optional

    Instructions

    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
    • In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla.
    • Using a hand mixer, mix on medium speed until fully combined and smooth.
    • Scoop some of the peanut butter mix (about a teaspoon but it doesn't have to be exact - I didn't measure), onto a pretzel and gently shape it into a square. Sandwich another pretzel on top and gently press them together. Place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until you're out of peanut butter mix.
    • Place the entire baking sheet into the fridge while you're melting the chocolate.
    • In a small microwave safe bowl, pour in the chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until fully melted and smooth.

      This is such an excellent idea for little bite size treats. Living in Italy though I won't be able to find peanutbutter... so I'll probably be craving it all day! haha
