- Sea Salt optional

Instructions
- Add the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla to a large bowl or stand mixer and cream together for 30 seconds.1⅓ cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup salted butter, 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Sift 2½ cups of the powdered sugar into the bowl and beat until smooth. If the mixture is still too soft, beat in an additional ½ cup of sugar. The mixture should stick together but not be sticky to the touch.2½ cups powdered sugar
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- While the peanut butter mixture chills, line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange 100 pretzels on them.200 Snaps Pretzels
- Remove the peanut butter mixture from the fridge and use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the mixture. Then divide each scoop into 4 even portions and roll into small balls and place each ball on a pretzel.
- Top the balls with another pretzel and gently press down to secure.
- Once all of the pretzels are prepped, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minutes, stir, then microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each one until smooth.20 ounces chocolate melting wafers
- Dip the pretzel bites halfway in the chocolate and place back on the parchment paper to set.
- Sprinkle with sea salt or sprinkles if desired before the chocolate sets.Sea Salt, Sprinkles
Notes
- If you find that the mixture is not firm enough to roll without sticking, an additional ½ cup of powdered sugar can be added.
- This recipe was tested and made with Jif peanut butter, all-natural peanut butter is more likely to require more sugar in the mixture.
- The texture of the peanut butter mixture should feel like soft fudge.
- I prefer these with coarse sea salt sprinkled on the chocolate, if you prefer to keep them plain or do sprinkles, I recommend adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the peanut butter mixture.
