PEANUT BUTTER, CARAMEL & PRETZEL BITES
Time 1h
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Place 60 unbroken square pretzels on your work surface. Turn each unwrapped caramel on its side and slice in half. This should give you two square caramels per piece for a total of 30. Place each half on an empty pretzel. Continue doing this until all 15 caramels are cut in half and placed on pretzels. Cook caramels on pretzels in the microwave for 5 seconds and press caramel into pretzel. If caramel will not press into pretzel, cook for additional 5 seconds. Caramel should not be melted, just soft enough to press into the pretzel so they stick together. You'll need to do this in batches. On remaining 30 pretzels, smear each one with peanut butter. Press a peanut butter half pretzel into a caramel half pretzel. Do this to all. You should have 30 peanut butter pretzel sandwiches at this point. Melt chocolate according to package directions. Add vegetable oil to thin the chocolate slightly after it's melted. Place pretzel sandwiches into white chocolate and with a fork gently pick each one up and shake it gently to remove excess chocolate. Place Pretzel bites on wax paper, non-stick foil or a baking mat to cool and dry. Sprinkle candy bits, sprinkles or colored sugar on top of each one as you finish, before they dry. Repeat until all 30 pretzel bites are dipped. Allow to dry fully and devour!
CARAMEL CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL BITES (LIKE TAKE 5)
These taste a lot like the Take 5 candy bars, which are my hubby's favorite. The dipping chocolate can be a bit messy and time consuming, but it is worth it! Make the bunch and share or freeze to have a constant supply!

Yield 30 pretzel bites, 8-10 serving(s)
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Mix together first 4 ingredients and roll into small balls (I'm no good with measurements, but I'd say maybe 1/2 inch in diameter). If they're too sticky, add a little more confectioner's sugar.
- Sandwich each peanut butter ball between 2 pretzels.
- Leave in freezer for 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips. Quickly dip each pretzel sandwich half way into melted chocolate.
- Return to freezer for 1 hour. Keep refrigerated until served.
Tips:
- Use a good quality peanut butter that you enjoy the taste of. It will make a big difference in the final flavor of the bites.
- If you don't have caramel bits, you can use chopped up caramels or even butterscotch chips.
- Be careful not to overcook the caramel mixture. It should be thick and bubbly, but not too dark.
- If you want to make the bites extra special, you can drizzle them with melted chocolate or sprinkle them with chopped nuts.
- These bites are best when eaten fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Peanut butter caramel pretzel bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover pretzels and caramel. So next time you're looking for a sweet and salty snack, give these bites a try!
