Peanut Butter and Chocolate Covered Pretzels Recipe


Homemade goodies make for some of the best and most thoughtful holiday presents.  And when they are simple and affordable to make I love them even more. Bring the kids into the kitchen and have them help!  This recipe makes about 100 pretzels.  
1 jar of pretzel rods
16 oz of milk chocolate, melted
2/3 cup of peanut butter
Holiday covered sprinkles or chopped nuts
1.  Place wax paper on a sheet pan, so the chocolate won't stick.
2.  In a glass bowl, add the chocolate and peanut butter into the microwave for 30 seconds, remove and briefly stir with a rubber spoon.  Place it back into the microwave and continue to heat in increments of 30 seconds until all the chocolate mixture is melted.  Stir until it is completely smooth and incorporated. 
3.  Dip one end of the pretzel into the chocolate so there is only 1-2 inches (where you are holding it) uncovered.  Lightly shake excess chocolate back into the bowl.
4.  Dip into sprinkles or chopped nuts and then place on waxed sheet pan.   Place in the fridge for 5-10 to allow the chocolate to harden.
