Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites


1 cup of peanut butter (creamy works best)
2 Tbsp softened butter or margarine
1/2 cup powdered sugar (you may need more)
3/4 cup brown sugar (you may need more)


Pretzels

1 bag good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli 60%)

Combine peanut butter and softened butter in a large bowl with a fork or
whisk. Add the sugars and stir to combine.

At this point if the filling will roll easily into balls without sticking to
your hands you're ready to go. If not, add more sugar ( a little bit of
each) until you reach a consistency that is easy to roll.

Use a teaspoon measure, or a small cereal spoon to scoop the filling. Roll
each portion into a small ball and set on a cookie sheet. I like to roll all
the balls and then sandwich them between two whole pretzels. When all the
balls are rolled and successfully sandwiched, stick the whole tray in the
freezer for about half an hour.

Pour the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and heat at 30-second
intervals, stirring occasionally until completely melted. Remove the pretzel
sandwiches from the freezer and quickly dip each half-way into the melted
chocolate. Return to the try and repeat with remaining sandwiches. When all
are dipped, return the tray to the freezer to set up completely. Store the
sandwiches in the refrigerator until serving time.
