Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups crushed pretzels
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the crushed pretzels and powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork or skewer, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Return the coated peanut butter balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the chocolate-coated balls for 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!
