These Healthy Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites are a delightful, easy-to-make snack combining creamy peanut butter, crunchy pretzels, and rich dark chocolate. Perfect for a balanced treat that satisfies salty and sweet cravings with wholesome ingredients like almond flour and unsweetened peanut butter.

Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Mixture

  • 1/2 cup creamy, unsweetened peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp almond flour

Pretzels

  • Approx. 48 plain or salted pretzel twists

Chocolate Coating

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a medium-sized baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Mix Peanut Butter and Honey: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Add Almond Flour: Gradually add the almond flour to the peanut butter mixture, stirring continuously until it forms a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too runny, add a little more almond flour; if too crumbly, add a bit more peanut butter. The dough should be soft but able to hold together.
  4. Assemble Pretzel Bites: Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter dough onto one pretzel twist. Top with a second pretzel, pressing gently to sandwich the peanut butter mixture between. Remove any excess dough from the edges to keep the sandwiches neat.
  5. Repeat Assembly: Continue assembling the pretzel bites until all the peanut butter mixture has been used. Place each completed bite onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Melt Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a small bowl or ramekin. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This usually takes about 2 minutes.
  7. Dip Pretzel Bites: Dip one half of each pretzel bite into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place back on the baking sheet.
  8. Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the chocolate harden for about one hour before serving.

Notes

  • If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate it for 10 minutes before assembling to make it easier to handle.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option, though the recipe would then not be vegan due to peanut butter and chocolate.
  • Use salted pretzels for a nice contrast to the sweet peanut butter and chocolate, or unsalted if you prefer a milder salt flavor.
  • Store leftover pretzel bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For an extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds to the peanut butter dough.
