A delightful treat combining the crunch of pretzels with the creamy richness of peanut butter, all coated in luscious chocolate.
Combine the creamy peanut butter and crushed pretzels in a mixing bowl until well mixed.
Ensure the pretzels are finely crushed for a smoother mixture.
Place the mixture in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent any freezer odors from affecting the mixture.
Roll the firm mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Use a small cookie scoop to ensure uniform sizes.
Freeze the balls for another 30 minutes until very firm.
Space the balls evenly on the sheet to prevent sticking.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to avoid burning.
Dip each frozen ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating, and place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Use a fork to lift the balls out of the chocolate for a smooth finish.
Refrigerate the coated balls for 30 minutes until the chocolate sets.
Ensure the balls are not touching each other to maintain their shape.
Serve the bites chilled and enjoy their delightful combination of flavors.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
