Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzel Truffles Recipes

CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZEL PEANUT BUTTER

Steps:

• Place pretzels in a food processor and blend until it resembles meal. Remove and set aside.
• Place peanuts in the food processor and blend until creamy and smooth, scraping sides down as needed. If it's having trouble processing, you can add a bit of neutral oil (such as canola). It shouldn't take more than 8-10 minutes.
• Add pretzels back in and mix to combine. Taste and then add salt to taste - I used lightly salted peanuts so I only added another 1/2 tsp (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).
• Last, add chocolate in and pulse a few times to combine. It should get melty immediately from the warmth of the peanut butter.
• Transfer to a jar or container and keep at room temperature for up to several weeks.
• Best on toast, pancakes, bananas, waffles and baked goods.
