Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

With the weather being so beautiful the last few days, the last thing I wanted to do was waste a bunch of time in the kitchen making a huge mess with a new recipe. So instead, I spent a few minutes making heavenly bite-size treats of goodness.

The best part is that these Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites are super easy to make while not making your wallet protest.

Mm mm mm. They taste best fresh from the refrigerator!

Ingredients:
Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels
Chocolate (for melting!)

One bag of candy melts covers about 100 pretzel bites

I'm going to start off by saying how much I'm in love with my Chocolate Pro Melting Pot. It has to be one of the best inventions ever! I can easily melt loads of chocolate at once in order to form chocolate candy, use as fondue for fruits and snacks, and easily drench miscellaneous goodies in sweetness.

I got mine at Michaels for about 30 dollars.

First, you pour some of your chocolate wafers into your melting pot and turn it to Melt. If you don't have a melting pot, you can buy one, or melt your wafers in a bowl in the microwave on low heat.
 

The melting pot offers a feature to keep the chocolate warm after it's melted

When it has melted to a smooth consistency, turn the melting pot to Warm and dunk your pretzel bites. Make sure they're covered as much as you'd like. You can even dip them twice for a thicker coat of chocolate. Then, transfer them to a non-stick surface where they can harden up.

Plastic wrap makes for a good non-stick surface

They'll be ready in less than 10 minutes! Enjoy!

My Tips:

I bought these pretzels (approx. 200 in a tub) from Giant Eagle for about 5 dollars. The Wilton Candy Melts chocolate came from Michaels for about $2.49 a bag (cheaper if they're on sale that week). It's such a cheap, delicious treat.

For my non-stick surface, I used a piece of plastic wrap. It was easy to move around and the treats peeled right off when they were solidified. 

I like my chocolate chilled, no matter what it is, so I left my treats in the fridge for about an hour after they had solidified at room temperature. They were spectacular!

My first batch was about 50 bites, but I actually had to make a second batch because Cole and my dad were asking for more.

Try it out! Dip lots of things in chocolate and fall in love with each one, then tell me your favorites in the comments.
