A salty, sweet, peanut buttery treat that is sure to tackle those cravings. This easy Peanut Butter & Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rod recipe mimics a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup with an added crunch of a pretzel!
During the lockdown the kids and I found a new snack that we have bought way too much of – chocolate covered pretzels. YUM!! I think we all enjoy that sweet and salty combo. I decided that instead of buying our favorite chocolate covered pretzels I would make some of our own. When I started dipping the pretzel rods into the milk chocolate I got the idea of creating a few other flavor combos and this one I had to share!
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods
It is kind of silly to call this a recipe because it is so easy to make but it is a treat that I believe everyone who loves a good Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup will enjoy! The combination of sweet and salty with the combination of chocolate and peanut butter? YES PLEASE!! I promise these Peanut Butter & Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods will become a favorite in your house too!
Ingredients:
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips
Eight pretzel rods
Directions:
1. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or a double boiler; I prefer to use a microwave and a canning jar for this recipe because it makes dipping so easy.
2. Dip all 8 pretzels in the melted chocolate chips, try to get as much of them covered as possible.
3. Lay them on parchment paper.
4. Next, melt the peanut butter chips in a microwave or double boiler.
5. Drizzle the melted peanut butter chips over the pretzel rods.
6. Let cool and set in the refrigerator and serve.
Easy Treat To Share
Like I said, this recipe is so easy to make but it really does smash a lot of those cravings – salty, sweet, chocolate, crunchy. All in one delicious pretzel rod! YUM! It is really interesting how this lockdown has brought so many new cravings to me and my kids. Kind of crazy what a slow down can do to your normal habits.
While it is easy to head to the store to get chocolate covered pretzels, I have been having fun making these treats with Jude and Teagan. They enjoy eating their creations too!
