Pretzels, Peanut Butter, Dark Chocolate-Oh My!

So I know I’ve been posting like a million dessert recipes lately, but I couldn’t resist making these. They really aren’t that bad for you. I mean they’re from Eating Well, how bad can that be?

Anyways I LOVE dipping pretzels in peanut butter, one of my many guilty pleasures. And I also love dark chocolate covered pretzels (The ones from Trader Joe’sare amazing).

I ended up just putting a bunch of pretzels in a baggy and smashing them that way

So this recipe pretty much combines a couple of my favorite things into one little bite of joy.

as seen here, they really don't have to be perfect balls! They taste awesome either way

When you make them, they do get a bit sticky, so make sure you have them in the fridge/freezer long enough!!

Also, if you don’t like dark chocolate, you crazy people, then you can also use milk chocolate or even try white chocolate!

I had a bit of extra chocolate so I got to make Chocolate Covered Pretzels, too! :D
