Some things are just meant to be...
So while at home one day, applying to go back to school, I was rummaging my pantry to see what I could make.
Clearly, I wanted something sweet!
Sugar, peanut butter, pretzels, chocolate......voila!!
Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Pretzel Balls!
Something that even a non-sweets eater can enjoy! (ahem...like my boyfriend)
This is great for a kid's kitchen activity, too! -Reminds me of when I was in daycare and we made peanut butter play-dough!
Ingredients:
1 cup cut, crushed, smashed pretzel pieces1 Tablespoon butter, softened
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
Cut, crush, and smash pretzels into tiny pieces. Set aside.
Combine butter, brown sugar, salt, and peanut in bowl until mixed.
Add crushed pretzels to peanut butter mixture and mix.
Then add powdered sugar to mixture, and mix thoroughly.
Chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Take about a teaspoon of the mixture and roll into balls, set on waxed tray or plate.
Refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes.
While chilling peanut butter balls, melt chocolate chips in microwave or on the stove.
Place one peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate and roll it around with a fork until covered.
Remove and set on waxed tray or plate again.
Once all peanut butter balls are covered in chocolate, place on waxed tray or plate, and return to the refrigerator.
Chill for another 30 minutes or until chocolate coat is set.
Makes about a dozen balls.
