In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter and unsalted butter using a hand or stand mixer until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the bowl, mixing until a thick but pliable dough forms.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the peanut butter mixture and roll it into small, bite-sized balls.
Place each peanut butter ball on top of a pretzel, then gently press another pretzel on top to form a sandwich. Repeat until all the peanut butter mixture is used.
Place the assembled pretzel bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
While the pretzel bites are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil (or coconut oil) in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.
Remove the chilled pretzel bites from the freezer and, using a fork or dipping tool, dip each one halfway into the melted chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the chocolate-dipped pretzel bites in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy your sweet and salty treat!
