Ingredients

  • ½ c creamy peanut butter (or other nut butter)
  • 3 tbsp confectioners sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter at room temperature
  • 1 c crushed pretzels
  • ¼ c jam or jelly
  • ¾ c semi-sweet chocolate melted

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add peanut butter, sugar and butter and mix until smooth.
  • Add crushed pretzels and mix well (to crush pretzels, place in storage bag and roll with a rolling pin; a food processor can also be used).
  • Using a small scoop (or 1 tablespoon) roll the peanut butter mixture into balls.
  • With your thumb, press a light indentation into the top of each. TIP: dip your thumb into water to prevent the peanut butter mixture from sticking.
  • Drop ¼ teaspoon of jam into each indentation, then fold up the peanut butter mixture over the jam. Alternatively, a small amount of the peanut butter mixture can be placed over the jam. Just be sure to use a little less than a tablespoon when dividing them out.
  • Roll them back into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt chocolate in a double broiler.
  • Once the peanut butter and jelly pretzel bites are firm, remove from freezer and dip in warm chocolate.
  • Place chocolate covered balls back on cookie sheet or on a rack to dry.
  • Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
