Ingredients

• ½ cup powdered peanut butter (like PB2), prepared with water
  (or use ¼ cup natural peanut butter if preferred)
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 40 mini pretzel twists
• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)

Instructions

1. Make the Filling
In a small bowl, mix powdered peanut butter with water until a smooth, spreadable consistency forms. Stir in honey or syrup to sweeten.

2. Assemble the Bites
Scoop about 1 tsp of the peanut butter mixture onto 20 of the pretzels. Top each with another pretzel to form a sandwich. Gently press together.

3. Chill
Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.

4. Dip in Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each bite halfway into the chocolate, then return to the tray.

5. Set and Serve
Chill in the fridge for another 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate sets. Enjoy chilled or at room temp.

Tips for Success

• Use Powdered PB for Fewer Calories: It keeps the bites creamy without being heavy.
• Go Dark: Swap in dark chocolate chips for a richer, more antioxidant-friendly version.
• Freeze for Later: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
• Top with Flake Salt: A tiny sprinkle of flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets adds an elevated finish.
