- Refrigerate for one hour or freeze for 15 minutes.
- Combine chocolate chips with candy coating and melt according to package directions. (30 second intervals on high, stirring in between, usually does the trick.)

CRISPY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL BALLS
These are absolutely addictive! Sweet and salty with lots of crunch, and very easy to make. These should probably be stored in the fridge to keep from going soft or you could probably coat in an extra layer of chocolate if you wanted to go through the trouble.

Steps:
- In a double boiler or microwave (on 50 % power, in a large bowl) melt the chocolate and peanut butter. If microwaving, start with a minute and then add additional time (30 secs at a time, mixing in between) until melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.

Tips:
- Use fresh pretzels. Stale pretzels will not hold their shape as well and will be more difficult to coat in chocolate.
- Make sure the peanut butter is smooth. If your peanut butter is chunky, it will not spread as easily and will make your pretzel balls lumpy.
- Chill the pretzel balls before coating them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set more quickly and evenly.
- Use a double boiler or microwave to melt the chocolate. This will help prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Be patient when coating the pretzel balls in chocolate. It takes a little time to get them evenly coated, but it's worth it in the end.
- Store the pretzel balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Crispy chocolate peanut butter pretzel balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover pretzels and peanut butter, and they are always a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you are looking for a sweet and salty snack, give these pretzel balls a try. You won't be disappointed!
