Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter
  • ½ Cup Butter
  • 1 ½ Cup powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla *optional
  • Approx 72 Small Pretzels
  • 1 Pkg Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine softened butter, Peanut Butter, Vanilla and Powdered Sugar. Mix with a hand mixer on low speed until combined and then increase speed to smooth mixture.
  • Using a small cookie scoop, scoop Peanut Butter Balls and place on a Pretzel. Top with additional Pretzel and smoosh together until Peanut Butter Mixture pokes through Pretzel holes.
  • Using an Instant Pot, place 5-6 cups water in pot and set to Saute
  • Place a larger glass bowl on top of Instant Pot to create a double boiler. The steam from the water will heat up the glass bowl and perfectly melt the chocolate
  • Add Chocolate Chips to bowl and allow to melt stirring occasionally until smooth
  • Dip Pretzel Bites into chocolate half way and then place on a lined cookie sheet to cool
  • Allow to cool until hard about 30 minutes
