peanut butter pretzel bites recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Pretzels
- 2 Tbsp. Peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp. Date caramel (recipe below)
- 2 oz. of Chocolate or carob chips to melt
Directions:
- Blend pretzels in a food processor and add to a bowl.
- Add peanut butter and date caramel and mix until well incorporated.
- Roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands and place them on parchment paper and in the refrigerator.
- Place the chocolate in a bowl and melt in the microwave for 1 minute, 30 seconds at a time. Carob chips don't melt as well as chocolate does, so add a small amount of canola or coconut oil to the chips to help them melt down to a smooth consistency.
- Dip each pretzel ball into the chocolate and refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened.
