Ingredients

Instructions

Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine ¾ cup peanut butter and 1 cup chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the pretzels and gently toss until evenly coated. Spread the pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Place the remaining chocolate chips and peanut butter in separate microwave-safe bowls. Melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Warm the peanut butter for 15–20 seconds, just until thin enough to drizzle easily.
Drizzle the melted chocolate and peanut butter over the coated pretzels. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until set, then serve and enjoy.

Notes

Use creamy peanut butter: This helps the chocolate mixture coat your pretzels more evenly than crunchy peanut butter.
Melt chocolate in short intervals: Prevents burning and keeps coating silky smooth
Stir thoroughly between intervals: Ensures even melting and smooth texture
Work quickly when coating: The mixture sets fast, so mix right away
Add toppings immediately: Before the chocolate sets so they stick well
Spread pretzels in a single layer: Helps them cool evenly and prevents clumping
Chill until fully set: Ensures the coating hardens properly
Break apart after chilling: Creates bite-sized, snackable pieces for easier serving
