Who does not love peanut butter and chocolate?! Who does not love these two things combined?! If you are one of the few non-lovers than feel free to stop here but if not please continue reading. :)
Lately, I have been eating peanut butter everyday in some form or another. I seem to be going through my jar of peanut butter much too quickly. I buy the organic natural peanut butter so the stuff is not cheap my friend! My breakfast of choice lately is scrambled egg whites with a toasted whole wheat english muffin and a good schmear of peanut butter on each half. It fills me up and always sets my day out on the right foot even though I know minutes later my long list of work emails may bring me down again, I at least know I started my day out on a happy note.
Just the other day I was in the mood for some peanut butter (surprise!) and chocolate. I came across this recipe from one of the blogs I follow and I just had to try it out. In less than a hour I had a sweet and salty treat that fulfilled my craving and put me in a very good mood. These are great for an afternoon snack, dessert, or even late at night with a glass of milk...or wine...whatever you have on hand. Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites Dipped in Chocolate
Taken from 17 and baking
Makes around 45-60 bite sizes sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (I used organic natural peanut butter)
- 2 tsp butter, room temperature
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pretzels (I used Snyder's Snaps)
- 2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
- In a small bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter together until smooth and creamy. Beat in the powdered sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well mixed – you may need to add more to get the filling thick and stiff enough to hold its shape.
- Roll teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture between your palms to form balls. Sandwich between two pretzels and put on a plate or cookie sheet. Freeze the pretzel sandwiches for half an hour.
- Melt the chocolate chips, using the microwave (30 second intervals) or a double boiler. Dip half of each pretzel sandwich in chocolate. Return the tray to the freezer and chill until the chocolate sets.
- Store the Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites in the refrigerator until serving time.
