Ingredients
This recipe calls for just a few simple ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups of pretzel sticks
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup of light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
- 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or melted peanut butter for decoration
Instructions
To make these chocolate covered pretzel balls, begin by preheating your oven to 350°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the pretzel sticks in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and salt and mix until creamy. Add the pretzel crumbs to the mixture and stir until fully combined.
Divide the mixture into 12 equal sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and press down lightly to flatten them. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Allow the pretzel balls to cool completely before adding the chocolate.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Dip each pretzel ball into the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper. If desired, add sprinkles, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of melted peanut butter to decorate. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
