Description

These Healthy Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites are a deliciously simple no-bake snack that combines creamy peanut butter, a hint of honey, crunchy pretzels, and rich dark chocolate. Perfect for satisfying sweet and salty cravings while keeping things wholesome with almond flour and unsweetened peanut butter.


Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1/2 cup creamy, unsweetened peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp almond flour

Assembly

  • Approx. 48 plain or salted pretzel twists

Topping

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a medium-sized baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix peanut butter and honey: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and honey until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add almond flour: Pour almond flour into the peanut butter mixture and stir until the mixture resembles a soft cookie dough. Adjust by adding more almond flour if too runny or more peanut butter if too crumbly; the dough should hold together easily.
  4. Form pretzel sandwiches: Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture and place it on one pretzel. Top with a second pretzel to create a sandwich. Remove any excess mixture around the edges and return it to the bowl.
  5. Arrange on baking sheet: Place all pretzel sandwiches on the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Melt chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a small bowl or ramekin and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each session until smooth and fully melted. This should take around 2 minutes.
  7. Dip pretzel bites: Dip one half of each pretzel bite into the melted chocolate and return it to the baking sheet. Repeat until all bites are coated.
  8. Chill and set: Transfer the baking sheet to the fridge and let the chocolate harden for about one hour before serving or storing.

Notes

  • You can use plain or salted pretzels depending on your salt preference.
  • If the peanut butter mixture is too soft to handle, chilling it briefly can help firm it up.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Use dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for a healthier option with less sugar.
  • For a nut-free version, try sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter and check pretzel ingredients for allergens.
