Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy, unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp almond flour
- Approx. 48 pretzel twists (plain or salted)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a medium-sized baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Mix Peanut Butter and Honey: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Add Almond Flour: Gradually add the almond flour to the peanut butter mixture, stirring continuously until the mixture resembles cookie dough. Adjust consistency by adding more almond flour if too runny, or more peanut butter if too crumbly. Aim for a soft but cohesive dough.
- Assemble Pretzel Sandwiches: Scoop approximately 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture and place it onto one pretzel twist. Top with a second pretzel to form a sandwich. Remove any excess mixture from the edges to keep sandwiches neat and return scraps to the bowl for reuse.
- Repeat Assembly: Continue making pretzel sandwiches until all the peanut butter mixture is used. Place each sandwich on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt Chocolate: Place dark chocolate chips in a small ramekin or bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This process should take no more than 2 minutes.
- Dip Pretzel Bites: Dip one half of each pretzel sandwich into the melted chocolate, then return it to the baking sheet. Repeat for all sandwiches.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet with the chocolate-dipped pretzel bites into the refrigerator. Allow the chocolate to set and harden for about one hour before serving or transferring to storage containers.
Notes
- Use creamy, unsweetened peanut butter for the best texture and flavor balance.
- Adjust almond flour quantities slightly depending on peanut butter consistency to ensure the dough holds together well.
- Salted pretzels add a nice salty contrast to the sweet peanut butter and chocolate.
- Ensure chocolate is not overheated to avoid burning.
- Store finished treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and chocolate coating integrity.
