Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Pretzel Sandwiches

Category: Snacks / Crackers / Chips

Makes 45-55

1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
2 Tablespoons Softened Butter (unsalted or salted)
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
3/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Cups Semisweet Chocolate (dark, milk, or bittersweet work as well!)
One Bag Salted Pretzels

1. Beat the peanut butter and butter until smooth and creamy.

2. Add the brown sugar, powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth.

3. Roll peanut butter mixture between your hands into tablespoon balls (approximately...or roughly the size of a cherry), and sandwich between two pretzels. Place all pb sandwiches on a plate in the freezer for roughly 20 minutes.

4. While pretzels are in the freezer, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or a double boiler until smooth and melted.

5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. Remove pretzels from the freezer, and dip half of each sandwich into the melted chocolate. Place on parchment. If you want to decorate them with mini chocolate chips do it right after dipping so that the chocolate hasn't had a chance to harden. Chocolate drizzle also looks nice over the dipped side. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve. If you want to speed up the hardening process put the pretzels in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
